A Darwin Award will be awarded in 3,2,1...

The monitor is hanging by a strap that is holding on to the junction between the monitor and the monitor stand. We all know that is held together by plastic that snaps together by a few tabs. So... ~30 lbs. of metal, plastic, and glass is bound to overcome those plastic tabs after a while.

And the best part is that it will still be plugged in when it comes hurtling down... Your flyback transformer will become a crash-forward fire and electrocution hazard.

In the early 80's, my family found out that my cousin had a mirror over his bed after an earthquake shattered it. He wasn't in bed at the time, which was lucky since it looked like a knife-thrower's practice board, with a bunch of the shards sticking straight up, impaled into the mattress.

This is obviously the bedroom of someone who is single... Wait a second, now I get itl! Great project! If some webcams were added (and Skype) you'd be on the brink of a multi-million dollar idea. Just use a flat screen next time, it won't hurt as bad when Murphy's Law comes into play.
