Kids in idaho are Darwinizing themselves

Are kids in idaho really this bored?!

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A 10-year-old boy was found dead, hanging from a tree, apparently killed while trying to get high by playing the “pass-out game,” authorities said.

Dalton Eby may be the second Idaho child killed in recent months while playing a choking game, trying to cut off the oxygen supply to the brain to achieve a type of “high.”

“During the course of the investigation it was learned that there is a game that is common knowledge to many of our youth. A game known as the ‘pass-out game,’ the ‘fainting game,’ the ‘tingling game,’ or the ‘something dreaming game’ — to name a few,” the statement added.

So who’s the fine young prodigy who came up with this lovely game? And did he Darwinize himself? I mean, really, as a kid I certainly don’t remember suffocating myself for fun!
