My roommate "Dave" is currently engaging in what could result in his recieving a full darwin award. Dave bought a machete this afternoon. First off, Dave bought this machete to cut down trees in the woods when he goes camping on sat. night. More importantly, Dave is currently sharpening his machete. he is holding it(the blade, not the handle), blade up, between his legs. the blade is within centimeters of removing dave from the gene pool. He has managed to stop it everytime it slips, but he still has four days.

OK, it is not the most excellent post, but the last line gave me the first chuckle of the day. Thanks for the submission.

I'll go along with Greg on this one. Yes, at least worthy of a mention.

Not often we get an "in-progress" DA. With luck, we'll get another post soon.
