20 Bucks

A middle-schooler agreed to kill himself for 20 bucks. Don't ask me what he planned to do with the 20 bucks in heaven. In hell, I think they still have those old-fashioned cigarette vending machines, so 20 bucks would come in handy. (OK, bad joke). Anyway, like most 12-year-olds, this one was a failure, and he was caught by the IDF before he blew up. They used a remote-control robot to take the explosive belt off of the kid (how cool is that?!) and held him for questioning.
