This thread needs more photos. That turd is in the shape of a dead bird. I think there is something unconscious at work there.
edit: McHale! When baked inside the package it would seem they develope a far great PSI translating into FPS..
I know Ron. I'm laughing with you on this one. No deals over on the Climate Change thread though!

Now if you eat it you can call it road-kill.

Next time - try Bisquik. Or just make your biscuits from scratch. It's actually extremely easy, and they are going to be of a much better quality. AND keeping the mix in your pantry won't be akin to storing nitroglycerin (well, if we're going to drama queens, we might as well go big!)
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2/3 cup milk
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425° F. Grease two 8-inch cake pans. Put the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the milk all at once and stir just until the dough forms a ball around the fork. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead 14 times. Pat until 1/2 inch thick. Cut into rounds with a 2-inch cookie cutter. Place touching each other in the cake pans and bake for 15-20 minutes.

This rude awakening today in Colorado wasn't quite so amusing. I get the humor in the original story and thought it was kinda funny, but this sort of incident is just what DMT was talking about. Sad that we didn't have long to wait for an example.
A Colorado teenager apparently sneaking back into her home before dawn Monday was shot and killed after her stepfather mistook her for a burglar.
Colorado Springs police said the unidentified 14-year-old girl was shot just before 6 a.m. as she entered her home in the 4300 block of Ascendant Drive, on the city's northeast side. Officers rushed her to a local hospital, where she died.
Police do not plan to release the identities of the victim or her stepfather, said spokesman Larry Herbert.
The initial 911 call was for a burglary in progress, he said. He did not say how many times the girl was shot or identify the type of weapon used.
Officers found the girl in the basement with a chest wound, KOAA-TV reported, adding police scanner suggests she had climbed through a cellar window.
A neighbor told KRDO-TV she was startled by "three bangs," which she thought was "someone hitting on a car or a garage door or something like that."
Police and the district attorney are investigating. No charges have been filed.

rSin, its a fact that there is no better way to increase the odds of one of your family dying by gunfire than owning a gun, but people are really bad at understanding statistics. I think that dad in Colorado understands them in a way that I hope no poster here ever knows. I think it puts the OP's story in a very sober light.
Most gun owners aren't "kooks" and you'll never shift minds or opinions if you can't fully listen to and understand other's stories and positions. You don't have to agree, but you do have to listen and not just discount them.

Ron and Toker
The Colorado stepfather surely didn't "let the neighbors shop burn down" (to use the words Ron used in connection with the incidence where the 72 years old man with dementia was shot)...
And the killer of the old man was a victim too, as we learn from Toker. The victim of his own actions that must be...
So I guess the stepfather who shot the girl is a victim too...
You guys are bad-ass...

Remember Ron, people are outraged at the intentional deaths, including suicide and murder. They dont differentiate. Accidents? Those are ok! Unless they involve guns, of course.

I gotta say, I am a bit more worried about cellphone drivers than the errant bullet.
Old cellphones would make good ammo for slingshots.
(Am serious about those drivers.....f*#k!)

It seems that cellphone accidents could be compared to gun accidents.......they are caused by cluelessness.......People in charge of a responsibility they can't quite handle.
