      From: usteen@asdf.fi              In the US state of Georgia, David Pressley thought it would be a good       idea to empty a rifle at a lawnmower stuffed with three pounds of       explosives. The 32-year-old Pressley gadually approached his target       while shooting. At 25 metres, it exploded and sent a piece of shrapnel       into his leg. Pressley, who now has only the upper part of the leg, was       surprised by this outcome. In a video of the incident, he helpfully       exclaims: 'I blew my leg off!' His friends created a tourniquet for him       and summoned medics. He is expected to recover.        Neighbour Lydiah Mays, who wasn't concerned by the gunshots but       was fazed by the explosion and scream, said: 'You would've had to be       on drugs or something to think it was a good idea to play with that       and try to blow up a lawnmower.' Her 'that' refers to the       target-practice mixture Tannerite, whose safety instructions advise,       among other things, not to 'shoot targets larger than 1 pound unless       it is required due to extreme long-range competition.'               Georgia's David Pressley = Red display aggrieves so!        Georgian David Pressley = Rapid "leg is very gone". Sad.              And a surprise find that may or may not be an anti-gram:        Tannerite = Entertain!                     --       A n n a S h e f l - For email, substitute 'usenet' for its anagram        - "Never eat more than you can lift." --Miss Piggy -        alt.anagrams FAQ: http://theanna.org/grams/        Weird news archive and more: http://theanna.org/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
