Yesterday gizmodo learned that a 18-yo had to be rushed to hospital after being struck by lighting while holding a gamepad in his mouth and another one in his hands. Weird? Well, it gets weirder: He was playing Mortal Kombat for SNES with his cousin. How and why the heck do you play Mortal Kombat with your mouth and two gamepads?

So how did he get the gamepad in his mouth in the first place? Well. There's a simple explanation for that: He wanted to teach is 8-yo cousin a trick in Mortal Kombat, so he held his own gamepad in his mouth while using his cousin's to do it.
