The loss of life is tragic. The stupidity is amazing. "Hey kids, come gather around the nuptual explosives."

Well, look at the bright side. At least the Nerve Gas Salute was put on hold, after the mortar accident.

Yes indeedy. These mental giants will receive the coveted DARWIN GROUP AWARD.

If it had to happen, maybe it occurred prior to the marriage being....uhh... consummated.

I was planning a wedding for my daughter next year. I chose the band, the caterer, the florist, but we were having a heck of time finding someone to shoot off mortar shells and anti-aircraft weapons. Does anyone have this guy's phone number. Is he available for Bar Mitvah's and cicumcisions.

"...it went off early..."

What did they do, drop it in the tube backwards?

Maybe these Mensa members thought this was a starlight round and they could use it like fireworks. If not, did they think that the law of gravity would not affect this piece of munitions and it would just keep going up...?
