surely a simple time-travel device would get round THAT little problem?

More seriously, on my electric brad nailer I _could_ reach the back of my head and trigger it with my thumb. I doubt I'd want to continue after the first one, however.

I was thinking mire that death wouldn't be instantaneous and the deadguy could have chucked the gun out of arms reach, or wandered a small distance before expiring.

Studio chiefs successfully cast the part of Nailhead in forthcoming blockbuster Hellraiser - The Hong Kong Connection after an unknown actor turned up in full costume, gave a flawless, agonized performance and then totally disappeared leaving a baffled casting director and second unit hairdresser.

"He kept stopping for aspirin" said baffled director Eliza Frupleskein, 27.

Baffled 42 year old studio security head, James Earl Smith said late last night,"He rushed out of the studio lot without leaving a contact number. In full makeup and costume. I'm completely baffled."

Director of Photography Alfred Stopcock, the famous 52 year old maker of such classics as "Psychic" and "Dial P for Pizza" admitted to being completely baffled. "The chap had the part completely nailed. Then he just ran out, screaming. It's baffling."

"Alfred was going for drama" said Miss Frupelskein, 27. "To get the long dark shadows he had the pin spots almost completely baffled."

Hell outlawing "outlaws" does not work what makes any one think that outlawing guns would work.

4 always come to mind,

1. The excited anchor exclaimed "The airplane skidded into a crash"!

1. The on the scene reporter wearing yellow rubber boots and standing in a

2 inch deep pot hole filled with water blurts out, Water is beginning to pond and it is becoming treacherous.

1. The "new" on the scene reporter desperate for words to fill the dead air exclaims. You can see how much it has rained during the night by the amount of water droplets that have accumulated on top of the cars!
2. On the NBC Today show. Matt Lauer was listening to an on the scene reporter that was sitting in a canoe near a swollen creek/river. As she was explaining the dangerous situation some one walked behind her in water that was some where between ankle and knee deep. Had the canoe sunk, most of it would still have been above water.

Hell, ask any liberal, they will tell you that's the only way...

I can't answer the "why" but seems like there are an awful lot of folks who do think that way.

With the concealed carry law in Kansas came the prohibition of same in certain locations, i.e. banks. All of which have on the door a picture of a handgun with a red slash informing all who enter that concealed carry is prohibited on the premises. As a result, the prospective bank robber is turned away at the door when he sees the sign and realizes that he/she cannot carry the weapon into the bank.

Yeah, right!!

Oh suuure!! LOL. That reminds me of a routine that comedian Kelly Monteith did years ago. A jewelry store gets robbed and the store owner runs after the thief and yells: "STOP THIEF!!!" The thief, of course, hears this and stops?

Kind of funny, this crime was in Australia, a country that went bonkers over gun confiscation (the real kind). Things were supposed to be all unicorns and rainbows now that those eeevil guns have been taken off the street, so howcum this crime happened?

Could it be because those bent on mayhem are going to commit it regardless of laws? Nah, that couldn't be, that would be too sensible a conclusion. It must be because nailguns *look* like guns (they have a trigger and are called "guns"). Thus the evil assault nailguns must be banned and more sensible, less sinister "nail inserters" must be developed and sold.

[David G. Nagel]

They exist. They are called hammers. However they can develop a bad habit of killing people also. Some time ago in Lake County Indiana one hit an individual on the head 13 times. Coroner called it suicide...

[Andy Dingley]

That many nails isn't trying to kill someone, it's trying to hurt someone you're really pissed off at (probably slowly), or to send a message to his friends.

Crap!

Next thing we know we will have to register nail guns and sign government forms when we buy nails. Lowe's employees will have to go through FTA training and personality testing. (some should anyway).

Turn in nail guns for a Mac Burger coupon or something... Crime is crime. Go get the crime guys and gals.

[John Grossbohlin]

And the nails will have micro stamped serial numbers tying them to your registered nail gun with incremental counters so they can keep track of each one...

[Mark & Juanita]

I'd say that was one determined individual. (Or one evil hammer :-) )

[Mark & Juanita]

Oooh, that could be bad, some of them would get a zero on that personality thing for not having one.
