Why would you be holding a mortar to your head?
The article says alcohol was a factor, but come on.

"WALLED LAKE, Mich. (Detroit Free Press) -- A 47-year-old man died Sunday evening in Walled Lake when a large mortar fireworks shell he was holding to his head exploded, police said."

For some reason I thought the other guy was 22. Don't have time to search tho so I could be wrong.

Can't help but wonder just what was going on inside his head.

In his defense, his brother said he didn't do stupid things, he only pretended to do stupid things. So...

Sounds like this may be a completely different idiot. So maybe not a dupe?

See people do shit like this every time I go to a family gathering. Always at least two idiots standing around.

Random drunk guy: " Hahaha, hey man your motars suck."
MAN: BS, these are the best money can buy, watch this.

Guy lost his mind.

Very often stupidity has a way of working itself out.

Too bad he reproduced before he decided go full bore.

Locally we had a lady blow her face off when she stared down the mortar tube after she lit it.

Alcohol was a factor

I would say a world where you can tax folks for not buying something.

Where "fairness" is defined as giving one group a huge advantage over another.

Where banning flashhiders is thought to save lives.

Where...you get the idea.
