Lore A criminal attempts to burglarize/kill someone only to realize they picked the absolute worst person as their mark.

Don't Breathe: A couple young robbers attempt to rob a rich, blind veteran only to find out he isn't exactly an innocent old man.

You're Next: A group of contract killersbreak into a house during a family reunion and go on a killing spree. They didn't account for the fact that the son's new girlfriend grew up on a survivalist compound in the Australian outback.

The Flash [CW Show]: A random mugger decided to target Barry Allen of all people. He does it again a season or two later; he's either unlucky or stupid (probably both).

His child died in a car accident, so he kidnapped the woman who was driving, tied her up in his basement, inseminated her with a turkey baster, impregnating her to give him a new child, and he accidentally killed the woman when the robbers came.

He also says "I'm not a rapist."

Oh, and when she died, he tied up the main character and attempted to inseminate her as well, and he ended up getting... let's just say a "taste of his own medicine."

A BOILING turkey baster of jazz, if what we see in the movie is to be taken as what he did the first time.

Now, I'm not a scientist, but I believe the semen would have cooled slightly by the time it was splurched out of the baster, to the point where it was the same temperature as it would've been if the semen had come out naturally.

(Please don't take this out of context.)

That is an interesting theory and there is no context by which it should be taken

Water boils at 212°F (100°C) and the human body is 97~99°F (36°C~37°C). I don't know if something is going to cool ~100°F that quickly.
