Topic: Weird Shit
That title is not entirely true, but we did not want to ruin the kicker of one of the funniest stories we have ever heard.
A man in Rio de Janeiro was killed on Tuesday in his workshop when he tried to open up an unexploded RPG (rocket-propelled grenade - ed.) with a special tool. That tool? An eight-pound sledge hammer.
The "victim's" entire workshop was destroyed in the ensuing blast and multiple cars that were parked outside were severely damaged. A friend who was inside the building at the time is currently in the hospital with severe burns. When police arrived on the scene of the accident, they found multiple RPG's which they reckon had been brought to the workshop to be sold for scrap metal.
This is more proof that despite what you see in cartoons, a hammer is not always the be-all, end-all tool to fix anything from refrigerators to round bombs with burning fuses.
