A dad-to-be in upstate New York was killed when a device he was building for a gender reveal party exploded, state police said Monday.

Christopher Pekny, 28, was working on the device for his child’s gender reveal party in the Catskills town of Liberty when it blew up just before noon on Sunday, cops said.

Am I the only one that has no idea what a gender reveal party is?

Heard about “Show me yours and I will show you mine” that some kids play.......

Yes, when I first read it, it seemed to be saying he was to be killed...or something like that...

Too many ‘lines’ like that makes ones eyeballs ache.

I didn’t know what it was until I read this thread.

Seems like a real waste of an IED to me.

It’s cruel to say it, but, on the bright side, a baby will be born without a stupid father passing his stupidity down to his progeny.

Cigars,

The Hospital with the kid
= = = = = = = = = = =
Yes, when 1st was born in 64 I made sure the bar I was at was VERY close to the hospital so I could make it seem like I was in the waiting room. <:<:<:.
For the 2nd(and last) born in 66 I was a little more casual about it..HA

Also Hospitals had strict visiting hours so I managed to get there about half hour before ‘closing’ but at the time usually worked till 7 or 8 PM anyway...

“Now the kid will never know if he or she is a boy or a girl.”

And that kid will differ from so many of today’s kids how, exactly?

At least he didn’t kill an innocent party and burn 1000s of acres.

He doesn’t qualify for a Darwin Award, however.
