A chemistry student in the Ukraine had his face blown off by what is believed to be exploding chewing gum, The 25-year-olds disfigured remains were discovered at his parent's home in the northern Ukrainian city of Konotop.
The young man, who studied at Kiev Polytechnic Institute, was working at his computer late on Saturday when the alleged explosion happened." A loud pop was heard from the student's room," the ukranews.com Web site said, quoting the city's police chief.
When his relatives entered the room, they saw that the lower part of the young man's face had been blown off. A forensic examination established that the chewing gum was covered with an unidentified chemical substance, thought to be some type of explosive material.
The student apparently had a bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it into citric acid.
Officers found both citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the body. Investigators suspect that the student simply confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth.
It is a common mistake to make if you leave your chewing and bomb making equipment side by side on a table, odds of blowing your face of rise dramatically if you dip said chewing gum in explosive acids before chewing, its difficult to feel sorry for this idiot, but it made for a interesting story.
