DARWIN WINNER!

41 and married, probably had kids.

Anyhow, imagine this is the last video of dad that everyone will remember his legacy by.

Man filmed dancing just moments before he blew his head up (Twitter, not graphic)

Haven’t seen that in a while, but as a long time dachshund owner, that’s one of my absolute favorite videos. Thanks for posting! LoL

Firecrackers, especially the one-inch ones, were fairly harmless. But M-80s are setious pyrotechnics.

Lol, those M80s are the real deal. Set one off in our backyard, it created a bald spot in the lawn of about 2 feet in diameter. My mom was not pleased.

My old roommate was 6’4” and 250 and he held onto one of those shells while another buddy lit it. Since it had a foot long fuse, he was going to have another friend light it while he tossed it towards the river. I remember the guy lighting the fuse only to have it instantly ignite the shell in his hand. He had a pretty bad burn and blister but he was lucky it didn’t take his hand off. He drank some more and passed out but the next day he was miserable.

At least I no longer have to try that myself. I think I can safely scratch it off my bucket list.

I still have an iron man daylight hike in August across Death Valley with no food, water and cordless bungee jumping to go. If I live long enough.

‘dog with roman candle’

A classic! I thought of that when I opened the post.

Read a book when I was young that was ostensibly written by a former SS Officer. In it, he wrote of SS Officer cadets setting off concussion grenades balanced on the steel army helmet they were wearing. He claimed that if you did it right, the helmet would reflect the force of the blast and, while your bell was rung, you suffered no serious injury.

Of course, I have also read, more recently, that the author was a BS artist.

I feel bad for the guy. He was just being patriotic.
