News of the Weird: Weekly Darwin Award

This week's winner: Convicted methamphetamine user Daniel Zeiszler, 22, burned his hand and arm last year in a south San Francisco hotel room attempting to extract meth from his own urine in a crude recycling attempt. At his sentencing in December (at which he got five months in jail), his lawyer acknowledged that it would take gallons\ of urine to extract a usable amount of meth, rather than the one bladderful Zeiszler was working with.
