Something really, really strange.

This is kind of disturbing....nevertheless, here are the links.

an IRC log of some guy 'hacking' a streetlight http://www.giggage.com/scott/irc.txt

*blinks* That's not strange, it's bloody scary!

Poor guy, my friends do stuff like that all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happened to one of them.

Ok let´s look what I understood:
There were some guys in a chat. One of them said that the light of the lamp was annoying. Then he got out to destroy it. He got electisated (I dunno if I wrote this the right wy). i mean he got the electricity of the lamp in his body. Then he died of that. OH!

. Later the guys from the chat met again and one of them told them that this guy was dead. They didn´t believed in him. Plus the lamp story was in the news.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS INFOS FROM????!!!!

As if you'd try to un-wire the thing, he should've just smashed the bulb.
Yeah, FreakyLA he tried to cut the wires to make the light turn off but he electrocuted (electricity of lamp killed him) himself trying to do it.

I have no idea where Luxo got the info from, but he's probably offline now, as it is late here.

No, I'm still here...it's only 11:10 and I can't be bothered finishing my French homework.

I got it from oldmanmurray.com (the forums), which is also where I found the hostess cupcakes link. No idea how this guy got the info, though.

He was either a complete ass, like most people who vandalise, or street lights in that area are covered in shatterproof glass like where I live. Actually, now I think of it, he was an ass either way. But I still feel sorry for him and his family - especially the sister.

HMMM, FRENCH? What year are you in 12?

freakyLA · #8 05-01-2001, 11:14 AM

He French homework is shit. Perhaps I can help you.
Where happens the whole story. i forgot. What are wires?
Well I wonder how the guy found it out

LuxoJr · #9 05-01-2001, 11:18 AM

No, I finished year 12 last year under a new examination system that's an update of what Sydney's enduring now (we had the HSC about 8-10 years ago).

I'm at university, and the French homework isn't hard - it's just annoying. We get pointless assignments and stupid questions on complicated material like Albert Camus' The Outsider.

Bloody hell dude! That's gotta hurt!

Ouch! Well, he had a strange method of getting a charge out of life. One should not mess with one digits probe.

Poor guy. I feel really sorry for him and his family.

Dakkan Blackblade · #12 05-01-2001, 11:54 PM

That's sad.... you got me all upset.

Pacen · #13 05-02-2001, 07:06 AM

I agree Luxo, his sister must feel really bad about the whole thing, since it was basically her suggestion which made him do it.

FreakyLA, I'm not really sure how to explain what 'wires' are, I suppose they are little tubes that carry the electricity. Although that's a very basic explanation, I'm just trying to say it so you will understand.
