   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!
