Sharks with freakin' laser beams on their heads

So, I'm riding my bike into work this morning. It's a little before 6:00 a.m. and it's still dark, so I've got the light mounted on my handlebars turned on. I had to stop my bike twice and wait for people to go past me. The first guy's light is so bright I could see him coming down the bike path (an old rail bed) almost a mile away. The other guy is a walker with a light mounted on a hat, and the @!@#$@! moron points his head to look at me as he walks past. Is it really necessary to have your phaser set to kill that early in the morning? :sigh:

Helmet-mounted lights ruin others' dark vision so you don't look directly at someone.

So, a lot of female coworkers, huh? "No, I wasn't ogling you... I just didn't want to blind you!"
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

My wife's grandfather Oscar was a coal miner, and was familiar with handling dynamite. One day the shift supervisor asked him to remove a tree stump next to the office shack, because the guy wanted a space to park his car. Oscar removed the stump using several sticks of dynamite. He also removed about half of the office shack, which was fortunately unoccupied at the time :omg:.

delete this;I only used dynamite a few times and it had to be handled very carefully. Most of the mines used ANFO, Ammonium Nitrate / Fuel Oil, since it was considerably more stable. It was also a lot more predictable in terms of how much to use and how it would fire. :)
