I don't know about the relative numbers that you cited but can say that of all African animals, hippos and Cape buffalo kill the most humans by a large margin.
Nope, ill-conceived pos that took far too long to build and ruined a perfectly good bicycle. If you think that contraption will be useful in your dystopian future, you're probably not going to be around long enough to need any clean duds. Better to just stock up on ammo.
My friend has a similar setup for cleaning panfish. A drum in a bucket, with holes punched with a nail from the outside, they leave star shaped nubs on the inside, of the drum. Place the drum inside of the bucket, fill with water, put an electric drill on the shaft out the top of the drum, and spin. The nubs clean the scales off the fish, leaving them ready to gut and fry. My brother uses an electric knife to clean panfish. He starts at the gill, cuts down to the tail, then continues to cut the fillet off of the skin, leaving only a fillet of solid fish, with no skin on it. I find that to be too wasteful, but when you have a bunch of fish between your 4 family members, with a 50 panfish limit per, that makes 200 fish to clean, so I can see the utility of doing it. Not that my twin brother ever followed the rules. Sighs. I think that he has changed, at least. He showed me the Ugly Stick that he bought when they first came out. He got a super deal on it, changing price tags with a cheaper fishing rod. I am glad he grew up, I don't have to feel so bad about his actions. You know how some people will violate deer to feed their families? And how some will say, if they are actually feeding their families, I have no problem with that, but most are just pigs who don't really need to do so to feed their families? I myself have done so twice, to actually feed my family. I don't feel proud of it, but I never took food stamps, instead when my job only was working 4 days a week, I took a second job, plus during deer season, I shot one deer that was a doe and one season was a button buck. I know, it was wrong, and if caught, I would have had to pay the fine, and lost my gun and my hunting privileges for 3 years. Not proud of it, but not going to hide from it either.
Yeah, that's a cakewalk. I never did like backing into a dark enclosed dock or building, but any trucker that's been doing it awhile could do this all day.
#8 Had a tree come down on the handicapped ramp I put in for my mother. They did a damn good job installing it, lost the handrail but the ramp itself took the impact OK. When they cut the tree in half, the root end rose up just like that and replanted itself. Damnest thing I even saw. That tree was the third tree to come down during the storm, the first two hit the back fence and the garage. I was outside standing on the ramp when the third one started to come down. Something made me look right and I moved faster than I have in years. Tree hit right where I was standing. Thank you Lord!
#1: I was watching an incompetent driver trying to back into a loading bay the other day. He wouldn't last a morning here. It's actually scary how minimally people are trained in some places.
#2: When her husband gets home early.
I'd be PISSED if I lived in one of the intermediate apartments and some prick was doing this. So much so I'd consider slathering vasoline all over the top of my railing.
#4: That guy's really calm. I don't think I would have been.
#10: Even if you didn't fall you'd still look like a clown.
#7 - It is my understanding that hippos in Africa account for more human deaths that all of the lions, cheetahs and other wild cats combined.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was crocodiles which accounted for the high death count listed but I could be wrong.
DeleteHe died by stupid... In other words, Africa wins again.
DeleteThe most deadly African animal is Homo Negroidus.
DeleteJohn,

#10 was not painful enough....
ReplyDelete#10 is the New York City subway
Delete#4 Fucking pinnipeds!
ReplyDelete#9- I'll have to remember that. Just might be useful in the not-so-distant future; damn them all.

What is going on in #3?
ReplyDeleteThe end of the whip hit the guy that was rubbing his face at the end.
Delete#1 I knew Tetris had a pupose! Great practice for truckers!
ReplyDelete#2: Oops, hubby came home early.
ReplyDelete#3: Bet that stung.
#1 - I don't get it
ReplyDeleteTry it yourself...and you'll see.
DeleteEasy Peasy. Particularly when that's all you do all day, every day.
DeleteYeah, that's a cakewalk.
DeleteI never did like backing into a dark enclosed dock or building, but any trucker that's been doing it awhile could do this all day.
One, it's darn fine backing, but the blinking and trucks moving at the end is a Tetris reference. Which is an old computer game, if you aren't aware.
DeleteShit yeah! You refine though skills right away, or that shit can eat up your whole day.
