Is this a tragedy or funny to you?

Nicholas Wieme loved making short films when he was growing up in a small town in Minnesota, a theatrical passion that would lead him to Chicago.

On Wednesday evening, the 23-year-old climbed onto the roof of the InterContinental Chicago hotel, with its famed onion-shaped dome, to take photographs when the night went terribly wrong.

Wieme fell into a smokestack and became wedged, beginning an elaborate, hourslong rescue attempt by firefighters that ultimately proved futile

I don't know what you would find funny about that story.

Agreed.

I don't find it funny, and I don't think he "deserved" to die, but the guy was stupid for doing what he did.

Stupid people die in stupid ways...and that's ok.

not a tragedy. a tragedy is a plane crash or school fire that kills 50 kids. this is just stupid.

I think we have all done pretty dumb things at one time or another. If alcohol or drugs
were involved then I feel really bad for him. If he did this on his own straight, and judging by
photos of the building, that was a really dumb thing to do in the middle of the night.

I chose the last option. I don't really think it's funny, but this guy is a top candidate for the Darwinian Award.

"Deserved his faith". I'll go with that one because I like options that make no sense whatsoever...

He had Sprint. There was no service on that roof.

do you offer some kind of express conversion?

I like the hats. They present a certain pious look, that I look for in a religion.

We also would have accepted "Smoke Handler".
