Chinese Exploding Cellphones

A Chinese man’s cellphone exploded while it was in his shirt pocket. Shrapnel went into his neck and he exsanguinated. What a bitter way to die.

From the Reg here:

A Chinese man was killed at a computer shop last Friday after the cell phone in his chest pocket exploded, severing a major artery in his neck and leading to massive blood loss.

According to local news reports, the man worked as a shop assistant at the store. An employee at a neighboring 7-11 convenience store told local media that she heard a loud bang and saw her colleague lying on the floor in a pool of blood. She said the man had recently swapped his mobile phone battery for a new one.

Oh my god, you know what this means?  You can get a Super Big Gulp in China!
