I read about a guy who lost a leg in a message board accident. There was this thread about herring on a Norweigian fishing forum, all going well untill a group of kids started taking the mickey a bit, talking about mackeral and stuff, the way they do. They've got no respect, some of these youngsters nowadays. Anyway, these kids couldn't spell very well and the whole thread collapsed due to the structural weakness of one particular badly-construted sentence. This dude was trapped under the weight of the whole thread for a couple of hours, until the moderators could put things right. They sorted things out eventually, but the guy's leg was rendered useless, and had to be amputated.
