    My mother is way OCD. I'm only mildly OCD, and only by comparison. When I was in my early teens, and gas powered leaf blowers were finally cheap and easily available to consumers, I'd leafblow our back porch *at least* three times a day, every day, every Autumn. You know, when the leaves were falling off the trees, at their peak. I would day-dream of having this shotty POS leaf blower explode, separating me from both my arms. Long story short, if all went according to plan, I'd have wound up a lot like Jax from Mortal Kombat.

    I'm no grenade expert but from this barely a paragraph of information it seems to me the pin was not pulled out yet and the lawnmower going over it made it blow up.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I jump two or three feet every time i hit a large unseen stick with my mower. If I were to hit a hand grenade I would probably be orbiting the planet.

    @eagles3_isn't afraid of the big bad Pig(flu)?: I smile at the satisfying sound of my enemies breaking apart. Lawn debris: terminated. Next target: neighbor's cat.

    @Con Seannery '09: Illegal in 1 Giz: Shredding a snake with a lawnmower is surprisingly satisfying.
