    That is so awesome... I'd be worried about accidental detonation since black powder isn't the most inert of explosives, but... wow. I want to try that some day. #anvils

    @Scott Kelly: I have a feeling reuthermonkey000 only check it out for the pictures.

    The reporting is almost universally amateur -- at best -- but I'll be damned if sometimes they don't knock something out of the park. Like anvil launching. Or Chris Duncan humping things... #anvils

    Dammit. It is hard enough to find a decent anvil these days without a buncha numbskulls shooting 'em in the air. Looks like a nice set of Peter Wrights. Here's hoping they were cracked before he started. #anvils

    Let us remember the lesson we learned from Anne Heche and Tommy Lee Jones in the Oscar winning film, "Volcano". You watch it go up in the air, THEN duck when you see which way it's coming down.

    And I must give them credit for using anvils instead of ASO's. #anvils

    Anvileers were an important part of Late Medieval warfare. Development of the cannon put them out of business. #anvils

    @Curves: In a beautiful world, men and women could shoot anvils together without all of this "women don't like anvils" chatter. It's a shame we haven't reached that point.

    Now my next question is.. where do I find anvils? #anvils

    @Stirk: I dont think its that we dont like anvils, I think they felt it should serve a purpose, which, in a way it does.

    "People talk about the joy of sex, but it don’t last like the joy of shooting anvils."

    That's pretty amazing right there.
