    Roseville,Minnesota 12 yo boy killed by 5# rock launched by homeade slingshot.
    It's been all over the news in Minnesota today.Every kid did stupid stuff like this back in the day,it's amazing boys grow up to be adults.Anyone ever get 7 steel old type beer cans with old ring tabs,hollow 6 out,just make a nail hole in the bottom can and electrical tape them together like a bazooka gun.You put a few drops of lighter fluid in nail hole and rub the can swirling it around a little.You put a tennis ball in the tube of cans resting on top of the bottom can.Go to a football field by the opposite end field goal and light with Bic lighter.The damn tennis balls had the distance to clear the field goal almost all the time.I can say this now because it's impossible to find the right beer cans anymore to make these.It's right out of the disclaimer,don't try this at home kids file.

        Brent do you ever post anything positive or is every thread of yours suffering from chicken little syndrome or about something melancholic?

              I love how they always manage to interview the stupidest people around:

              Bob Houck's backyard borders Bruce Russell Park. He didn't see the accident, but wanted to get an idea of just how dangerous a 5-pound rock can be. When he saw a rock tip his bathroom scale at 5-pounds, his heart sank.

              "That would do some damage and it would not be too good. He would be, and was, hurt very badly... killed ... not good," he said

What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?
