@wkyc: Connecticut woman injured after mistaking dynamite for candle during power outage https://on.wkyc.com/2oTHR9O https://twitter.com/wkyc/status/1038704842993266688/photo/1
 
Re: Darwinism

I'm just trying to imagine why one would just have dynamite sitting in a drawer with their candles, some tapes, maybe a tape measurer.

I'm wondering why anyone would just have a loaded gun in a low cupboard with kids in the house.

I figure, there's gotta be a common factor in there somewhere. Just not sure what. ;)

People who could have evacuated the coast ahead of Florence but refused to will lose their herd membership card.

Because the store was out of nitroglycerin.


PS - The device is a tape measure; you're the tape measurer.
PPS - What kind of tapes? Led Zeppelin? Beach Boys?

Concrete sledding
The Alpine Slide, which was the park's first ride two years before Action Park opened on July 4, 1978, was bought from a manufacturer in Europe by park owner Eugene Mulvihill.

"The Alpine was on a big hill, not a little baby hill," said park security guard Jim DeSaye. "It’s basically you on a sled on a concrete track. And there is nothing keeping you on."

Wild Mountain (mountain in name only) in MN had (has?) a similar track. When I was in junior high I decided I was not going to use the break on a run at any cost. Ended up tipping on my side while wearing a tank top and tore a few layers of skin off my left upper arm about 3 inches long.

I think if I tried to list every stupid mishap from my youth I'd be here for a bit.
