“ A woman in Iowa died on Saturday after flying debris from an explosion during a gender reveal announcement struck her, the authorities said.”
On Saturday afternoon five family members and the expectant mother gathered and placed gunpowder in the bottom of a homemade stand that was welded to a metal base plate. A hole had been drilled in the side for a fuse, a piece of wood was placed on top of the gunpowder and colored powder was placed on top of the board. Tape was then wrapped over the top of the metal tubing, inadvertently creating a pipe bomb. Instead of the gunpowder shooting the powder out the top of the stand, the stand exploded sending metal pieces flying. One of these metal pieces struck Pamela Kreimeyer in the head causing instant death. She was standing with other family members approximately 45 feet from the device. It’s believed that the projectile that struck the victim then continued another 144 yards through the air coming to rest in a field.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

Also "inadvertently created a pipe bomb" might be the second most "Iowan" statement ever.

That's why when people asked if we knew if the parasite was a boy or girl, I'd answer dragon.
Why should anyone care enough about the developing sexual organs of a fetus to invite friends and family over to celebrate/reveal which organs it'll be?Originally posted by West Texas Wolverine
