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

Darwin award indeed!

Well, since they had their skyrockets in flight, there'll be no afternoon delight!

Hey, hold ma beer and watch this!
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Well, look at the bright side. At least the Nerve Gas Salute was put on hold, after the mortar accident.

Note to self: take fireworks and/or all explosive items OFF daughter's wedding list............

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.

Couldn't help but laugh...Bawhahahhaha, oh gosh this is so funny, sad but funny! Look at it this way, they can still party with their dancing whores in hell!
To: Oldeconomybuyer
"...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...?
