Nail Gun Can you spell Darwin Award Winner? Also, rev up the ambulance chasers! It took the medics 1/2 hour to get to the scene.

Chief Justice Not a problem if they allow the reincarnated to follow up.

$9.00 What!?! They didn't shoot the @#$@#$@$itch?

How dumb do you have to be to actually think shooting yourself in the chest with a nail gun is anything short of suicide? Good Grief :shut:

I'm afraid to ask how bad the toe cheese must have been for it to be worth stealing foot cream with a deadly weapon.

Nail Gun Guy - Biswalt, you wrote "...didn't think his injuries were that severe, despite bleeding to death." Are you seriously questioning the judgement of a man who shot himself thrice in the chest with a nailgun? I think we can take it for granted that his medical skills were sub-par at best.

"Nails" Redmond - Aaa ha ha ha ha ha!

$9.00 - out of high school I worked as a department store security agent, walking around in street clothes busting shop lifters. I once chased a guy two miles for a $10 wallet, yelling the whole time "just throw down the wallet!". People will steal anything.

Didn't catch him, either.

India- A.D. 2475, NOT 2475 A.D.! A.D. stands for Anno Domini, meaning "In the Year of Our Lord." It goes BEFORE the number, NOT AFTER. What you have written is, "the year 2475 In the Year of Our Lord."

I had thought all Baby Boomers knew about this after NASA committed one of the most famous typos of all time by inscribing the plaque left by Apollo 11 on the Moon, "July 1969 A.D."
