Yes, he was screwing around with it, and inhaled the thing....like in the cartoons.

Somebody sucks at blowguns.

Sucks to be him.

I guess he missed a critical step. Inhale, then put the blown gun to your mouth before you go dangerously shooting it at someone. Otherwise you end up in the news looking like a doofus.

Although I do have questions over the quote, "The case highlights the potential dangers of blowguns for teens, especially when the blowguns are made by using instructions on the Internet, which the boy had done." Are there really that many teens making homemade blow guns from blueprints off the internet?

What are parents teaching their kids these days? Hell.

Upon further reading down the article, "Over the next three months, the doctors saw two more cases of teen boys (ages 14 and 15) who inhaled darts from homemade blowguns. In both cases, the darts were removed without complications." I've come to the conclusion blow guns are now back in style. Hipster fad?
