Joseph Kubic Sr., 93, was hospitalized in Stratford, Conn., in 1999 after he tried to punch an additional hole in his belt by hammering a pointy-nosed bullet through it. The bullet fired, ricocheted off a table and hit him in the neck. And four months after that, a 19-year-old man was hospitalized in Salt Lake City after undertaking a personal investigation into the question of whether it is possible to "fire" a .22-caliber bullet by placing it inside a straw and striking it with a hammer. Answer: sometimes (including this time; it went off and hit him in the stomach). [Connecticut Post, 2-19-99] [Salt Lake Tribune, 6-15-99]

OMG..that's just insane....to think that there are peolle who'd try somthing like that..~_~

Its called Natural Selection [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'd try that, once at least

no...no, that's just dumb...resist the urge, Intrepid...we don't want to lose a good, avatar level forum member!

So... in what category do you put using a steak knife to try to get ice cream out of the ice cream carton?

I mean, not that the knife slipped, and not that I stabbed myself in the hand or anything like that... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Next time the ice cream scoop's in the dishwasher, I'll just wait... :D

I dunno what category that'd be, but I'm in it. I've never cut myself that way tho, so you certainly go in the "clumsy" category as well.

to think that this gene hasnt been wiped out from our human DNA after millions of years of natural selection, still astounds me.

<font color=lime>Are these the latest "Darwin Awards"? :D </font>

Sadly, these folks don't qualify for the Darwin Awards. To do that, they'd have to have removed themselves from the gene pool...

Unfortunately, they can still reproduce. :(
