    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

    I'll do it then...
    Officials in southern India are probing allegations that a doctor couple let their teenage son perform surgery.
    Reports said 15-year-old Dileepan Raj carried out a Caesarean section to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the world's youngest surgeon.
    Reminds me a bit of that Russian airline pilot who used to leave the controls to his 14 year-old son while he went for a stroll down with the passengers. One day the son got into a near-vertical dive and dad couldn't get back to the cockpit. Crash!

      Eh? If it was a vertical dive wouldn't he roll down to the cockpit along with anyone else walking the ailse and not strapped in?

        It depends if the dive was accelerating.

          And with four big jets screaming on the wings, plus the force of gravity, he would be more likely to be pinned to the bog door at the back of the aircraft!

          Anyway, he never made it in time.

            Hmm, fair point.

                Actually, I've just looked it up on wikipaedophile, and it wasn't quite as fruitcake as I remember it reported at the time. It still crashed though, killing everyone on board.

                  If I remember the crash report, it wasn't the kids fault: the instruments started telling them crap, something about a go around track.
                  Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

                    Consultant was heard to ask patient:

                    Do you want Thin and Crusty surgeon, or Dileepan?

                    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
