Another one for the Darwin Award, methinks.
A beautiful example of what is wrong with humankind, really. One person comes up with a scatty idea, another person encourages or supports that theory, less authoritative observers nearby toe the line to be accepted by the rest of the 'herd' and voila a hand grenade goes off and kills everyone. Lemming state and all that.
The only goodness that would come of that, of course is the removal of another Robbo, I suppose.
