Ripped from the story:
"And so, she said, Brandenn's kidneys were donated to two people, his liver went to a 22-month-old and his heart to an 11-year-old boy."

The 22-month-old, apparently absorbing power from the donated organs, has started taking the GRE and plans on starting medical school just as soon as he stops crapping his pants.

Dude! Doogie Howser offed himself? Aww..that's sad. But also kinda funny. I wonder if he was dressed up like Harry Potter.

I just wonder how a 14 year old can get his hands on a gun to kill himself ?

He had a 178 IQ. I'm sure he had his ways. Though you'd think someone with a 178 could think of plenty of good reasons not to blow their brains out.

Then again, that's beside the point. I'm in the 120-130 range, and I had a handgun at 14. It isn't that hard.

And this does not strike you as odd ?

EDIT: Because quoting is hard ...

And there are plenty of kids with far lower IQs (red states) with ready access to handguns. Intelligence and self-acceptance/loathing don't always correlate, I guess.

My dad, who is intelligent despite being something of a redneck, practically forced me and my brother to learn how to handle guns from a very young age. He wanted to be able to have them around the house without worrying about accidents. But people like him don't usually worry about what might happen on purpose.

Which part? That a smart kid decided to commit suicide, or that I had a gun before I could even drive?

EDIT:

Either way...Odd? No. Disturbing? Yes.
