I'll put in some Eve of May photos up here once I get my own laptop back from maintenance. I'm on a loaner from Dad, and I'm NOT handing him evidence of my not-so-drunken debauchery

I remember that. Throwing grenades in the army, that is. We used practice grenades that did explode but didn't fragment as much. And before we could throw ours, everyone had to practice how to get out of the foxhole in three seconds, tops.I have actually done this before in L4D2, and my team mates were not amused.
The guy above would have lost a leg.
I heard a rumor that is how Bob Dole got his war wounds, but he was using a real grenade.

This sort of happened when I was in. Dude was training with live grenades. Normally you have an instructor in the hole with you and you throw it and then duck down. You can't even watch it go boom. So this guy decides that this would be the best way to end it so he pulls the pin and tosses it at his feet. The instructor jets out and the grenade goes off. Guess what? Grenades aren't like they are in the movies. There's no HUGE FIREBALL THAT DESTROYS A CITY BLOCK, especially ones used for practice. Yes, they go boom and throw a little metal around, but in this case it'll only tear up your legs and maybe put a little extra weight in your gut.
Another guy I never saw again.

I think real grenades are much more terrifying than what they show in the movies... makes me wonder why they don't use the more realistic sort.

Real grenade:
And here's a great site talking about the differences between real & movie effects. (Sorry. No pictures. )

There are several different types of grenades. AP are the most common, they throw fragments of steel in a significant radius and maim or kill quite effectively. Then there's flash-bangs, which are intense light and percussion to blind, deafen, and disorient immediately before a breach. There's HE grenades, which are meant for destroying light vehicles, equipment, and sometimes bunkers. I guess that's what movie grenades are supposed to represent. But the worst would have to be Willy Petes - White Phosphorous incendiary grenades.

That is awesome, and also my biggest gripe with the iPod/iPhone.
The funniest things are those that are true... eg:
And frankly Don Cheadle didn't feel necessary considering Rhoadey didn't do anything that required taxing any talent.

Eight Legged Freaks, theres this hilariously bad scene where this giant spider shoots white hot innuendo all over her and in her face.
Isn't there a Scary Movie that that happens in?

Aaaah... The innocence of youth. When the title Scary Movie invoked slight laughs as a one-shot parody film, not disgust and diarrhea as a never-ending cavalcade of concentrated stupidity glazéd with vomit and spunk.
