This guy could potentially be a stupid guest if he could still walk.
Among the week’s most ludicrous stories, top honors have to go to our title story, in which a Georgia man decided—just for fun—to pack a riding lawnmower full of Tannerite brand explosive and shoot at it with his assault rifle until it blew up. Guns can be dangerous, of course. And so can lawn mowers. Advancing toward a lawnmower rigged to explode, while firing repeatedly at it so that it does explode, more dangerous still. Eventually, this exciting stand against tyrannical lawn care equipment did end in the explosion he was hoping for, with one twist: It blew his leg off. And it was all captured on video by his friends. Let this be a warning to lawnmowers everywhere: We will get you.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Tannerite
I'm also thinking that it might be a prime example of "thinning the herd". Survival of the fittest, etc. Sounds like this guy was not really going to contribute anything worthwhile to society anyway.

Re: Tannerite
Oh what fun to see a headline or video of someone doing something incredibly stupid to then see it comes from your home state.
I could get a chuckle out of it if it didn't seem to almost ALWAYS be my home state..
Also, Is it just me or does "Tannerite" sound like it might be some Amish sect.

He can only qualify for the Darwin Awards if he doesn't already have offspring, and if, along with his leg, he eliminated his ability to procreate.darph nader wrote:Or a Darwin Award.Goofyernmost wrote:I'm also thinking that it might be a prime example of "thinning the herd".
