I clipped both wires to one of the fog lights at the same time without disconnecting the battery, that put a nice burn in the wire clippers since they were touching the bumper and popped a fuse.
I pulled too many 8000-10,000 trailers without knowing that I should turn off the overdrive and eventually had to rebuild the transmission.
Ran full synthetic for 60,000 miles before finding out that it is likely to be the root of my sludge issue.
Pulled wood fence posts out of the ground with a strap. I hit a stubborn one after pulling a few so I got a run at it, it felt like that strap stretched about 10' before the post let go and I watched it fly by the driver window (hitting my arm with some dirt on its way by) and land about 10-15' in front of the truck. That strap is 100' long.
I put the throttle body on my Camaro on time with the wrong throttle body gasket out of the gasket kit. It didn't take long figure out why it was idling so high when I started it.
I could probably think of more but I'm outta time.

Care to elaborate? I can't find any info to support this and you've got me curious...

So it now appears that there were only two bombs in Boston, and the reports of authorities finding additional ones were all crap. I hate it when the so called "news" is more interested in getting a story out first than they are about getting the story correct.
I hope they catch the b@stards!

goes to show that guns are not the problem.
this push for gun control is not going to help at all...
notice how last weeks mass stabbing didn't make it in the national news???
A college student had admitted to fantasizing about stabbing someone to death since he was very young, and he went to school and stabbed 14 people!!!
nobody died and there were no guns involved, so the media didn't give a ****.
14 people stabbed!!! are we going to ban hunting and pocket knives and register kitchen knives with background checks now?!
the issue is not the weapons, its the mentally unstable...
