LONDON - Two "Star Wars" fans were critically injured when they tried to replicate the light sabers used in the movie by filling glass fluorescent light tubes with fuel, police and a news report said Tuesday.

The pair, Mark Webb, 20, and an unidentified 17-year-old girl, were planning to make a video recording of a duel like those in the just-released blockbuster film "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith," Britain's Press Association news agency said.

They were injured when one of the makeshift sabers exploded Sunday evening in the woods in Hemel Hempstead, north of London.

Hertfordshire Police said a third person present when the explosion happened had been questioned. The department said the two who were injured were in critical condition at a burns unit in Chelmsford, Essex.

"At this stage we are unable to confirm the exact circumstances, but glass tubes and traces of accelerant (flammable substance) were found at the scene," police said.

Can't be Darwin nominees unless they die-but they are sure to make the honorable mention list for trying.

i think many of us did stupid stuff. i think this is equivalent to a kid wearing a cape and jumping off the garage roof pretending to be Superman. we've all done it. there are a few oddballs that havent quite grown up or never took chemistry that do the things we think about and never get around to trying.

too bad they couldnt figure it out...

I can't imagine if the 20 and 17 year old have kids together some day :lol:
