    Was featured on Tosh.0. Nice to have friends that laugh and drink beer when they should be calling for medical help. :madgrin:

    Wow. That was a very bad idea.

    The beer comment reminds me of the beer drinking hillbillies where we go rock climbing. Their standard last words: "Hey y'all, watch this..."

    Lets see... I have an airbag that is, quite literally, triggered and filled by an explosive reaction. Lets sit on it and see what happens! Even drunk I don't think I'd be that stupid.

    At least it might still keep Darwin's theory relative for the human race.

    Apparently the guy lived, but sitting right on top of an explosive: the odds of being able to have children are greatly diminished!
