  LL>>> What happens when you put a fire extinguisher inside of an
  LL>>> artillery howitzer, and light the fuse?
  LL>>> A [not-so-clever] Russian welder found out -
  LL>>> https://git45.rostrud.ru/news/561199.html
  LL>>> My Russian language skills are not the best, but I do get the
  LL>>> general idea.
  LL>>> I do take this is "real news" rather than "fake news". I mean,
  LL>>> nobody can make up this kind of stuff. Not even me.
  ak>> Well, some climb mountains and tumble down to death. Some other
  ak>> make risky experiments. I, personally, like more the latter. Death
  ak>> in the process of an experiment is noble. ;=) It was a cool guy.

  LL> I saw a Canadian man (born in Czech Republic) who had survived
  LL> falling over Niagara Falls in a wooden barrel try to duplicate his
  LL> feat in the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. The barrel he was in hit
  LL> the side of the water tank on the field, after having been dropped
  LL> 180 feet from the top of the Astrodome. He was cut almost in half,
  LL> but somehow survived a few hours until expiring the next day.

  LL> His last words were reputed to have been -

  LL> "There is no heaven or hell; there is no God. It's all myth. You're
  LL> born, you live, one day you die and that's it." ~ Karel Soucek
  LL> (survived original stunt Niagara Falls July 3, 1984, did not
  LL> survive redux stunt Astrodome January 19, 1985}

  LL> How to commit suicide before a live audience.
  LL> No wonder he insisted on payment in advance.

This kind of adventure gives a lot of adrenaline that becomes a 
narcotic. That guy could not stop and he was doomed.

Bye, Lee!
