Found this on my loacl website, Vince, Gel - any explanations?

MELBOURNE (AFP) - Two Australian men needed surgery after shooting each other in the buttocks during a drinking session to see if it would hurt, police said on Wednesday.

The men, both aged 34, used an air rifle to fire at each other on Sunday. By Tuesday, both were in hospital to have pellets removed from their buttocks and legs.

"The men were sharing a few beers on Sunday evening when they thought it would be interesting to see if they shot one another with an air rifle, if it would penetrate their skin or it would hurt," a police spokesman said.

"It appears other than a bit of pain, the two men from the base of the Grampians (near Melbourne), thought they were fine.

"Two days later, both men have been admitted to hospital and require surgery to remove slug pellets from their buttocks and legs."

One of the men has been stripped of his firearms licence over the incident.

I haven't heard of it mate,
but judging with the numbskulls we got here,
I am not surprised that some would do that..

Then again, us Aussies like to do experiments and stuff..
We Aussie are the real mythbusters

Gidday Radar....haven't heard about that one mate...but they are Melbournians...anything is possible. They are a bunch of morons down that end of the country...towrads the shallow end of the gene pool.

Cheers, Vince

"window lickers" ? .....

Lost their firearms for playing with air guns? Maybe it was a good thing in this case.

I was going to say it might be a good thing to narrow the gene pool by aiming on their heads instead..
but when I think of it, it would just give the antis more ammo to take away something from us..
so, buttocks it shall be.. maybe a bit to the center and lower..
to ensure that little future experimenters could not be created.
Nevermind mate, wont hurt a bit
