Would someone drive over to @akmike47 's house and make sure he is okay?

Almost ran myself over with ye olde 12v Cummins once. The ignition switch failed, and I ain't no quitter so I rolled underneath it and jumped the starter with a screwdriver. It started almost instantly and did exactly what you'd expect a diesel left in 1st gear to do. Rolled out quick, hopped in and waved goodbye to my wife that almost had a heart attack watching it all happen. The guys at work thought it was pretty cool at least. Currently looking for a picture of the old unit.
In the meantime enjoy my oldest sons learning experience.View attachment 8552850View attachment 8552852
Ouch. Lessons learned that day.

I had a service advisor get into a 300D turbo diesel on my lift to check the reverse lights I had already checked, then leave the car in reverse. When I hit my remote starter to set the valve clearance the engine immediately started (I like to do the valves while the engine is hot) The car proceeded to back across the shop. I managed to press the under hood shut off before it got away.
The service advisor avoided me for a month after that.
 
More hilarity with the Swedish fermented fish. The first 20 seconds is absolutely the funniest part, the rest is just amusing



Another Darwin candidate not knowing/learning the rules.... Always open Surstromming can OUTSIDE! And understand that it's under pressure. Point it away from you.

What would be interesting would be the "3 way battle" for the worst food fragrances. Surstromming, Fafaru (Tahiti) and, of course, the dreaded "Durian" fruit!

THE NEEDLER

Ah yes, the mainstay weapon of numerous works of military science fiction through the decades. It's actually nothing fancy. It refers to a broad class of projectile weaponry from crossbows and compact concealable triangle bows to pneumatic powered to conventional chemical cartridge driven to electromagnetic small arms any which propels a long, thin razor sharp tipped bolt that can pierce armor and neutralize enemy personnel but does not produce explosive or thermal slagging effects that can compromise the bulkheads of a spaceship. Here's a contemporary needler. A VERY prickly shotgun shell...

 
If it’s going to stay out in the garden it’s good enough. I can’t tell you how many scarecrows I have seen made from old clothes and gloves. None of it looks real except at night when you are stealing watermelons. If the varmints think it’s real it’s fine.

Moles and voles don’t care though. I hate those things.

The biggest balls and one of the biggest sighs of relief in history has to go to the one person who volunteered to try these out (durian fruit) and found that they are edible... Those things just LOOK like they will make you trip out of your mind for days, slicing off strips of your own epidermis one by one while giggling nonsensically until you bleed out from your self inflicted wounds. They look evil, but yet perfectly harmless and are a delicacy in parts of the world.
