The case of the killer lazy-boy

Did you know fold-up couches could kill? I didn't, but then again, I don't live in St. Petersburg.

St Petersburg's Channel Five said the man's wife, upset with her husband for being drunk and refusing to get up, kicked a handle after an argument, activating a mechanism that folds the couch up against a wall.

The couch, which doubles as a bed, folds up automatically in order to save space.

This is why we desperately need couch control in this country. Of course, it will never happen if the NRA has anything to say about it (National Recliners Association).
