Your Daily Loser
Roy Harris, 44, lost his hand in a fireworks accident, and it wasn't even New Year's Eve. It was 3 days before. He had just left his AA meeting, was in the parking lot, and somehow (not a part of the 12 steps) got convinced to hold 50 sparklers together in his hand. Associated Press via KWCH-TV (Wichita, Kan.)

What a maroon!

"Forty-4-year-old Roy Harris initially lost two fingers..."
That seems like an awkward way to write his age, doesn't it?

Maybe he was celebrating completing the 12 steps. I bet he could use a drink right about now.

kingmonkey - I thought the same thing.

yeah Stumpy...you pile up enough gun powder and you will get an explosion.

We used to do this when I was a kid but we also made a fuse for it so we wouldn't blow our hands off.

As a woman, I (hopefully) don't have testosterone overload, but I also like blowing things up. I was a total pyro as a kid, although these days I confine myself to the occasional fire in the fireplace or bonfire while camping (and, of course, 20 candles surrounding the tub while I soak in a bubble bath with a glass of wine).... I don't know why it's fun to blow things up, it just is -- like Max said! Maybe that's why I'm still single....
