PIPE BOMB FUN – Apr 13

A man in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (* Home to who? Anyone? Anyone? The Amish!) was arrested after setting off an explosive device outside his home. Travis Peachey, age 51, had assembled a pipe bomb because he and his wife were having guests over, and he thought it would be good entertainment. He assembled the pipe bomb using a PCV pipe filled with 6 ounces of black powder, police said, wired up a motorcycle switch to control the detonation, and placed the bomb on a pile of wood outside a shed in the backyard. However, the guests canceled, so he retrieved the pipe bomb and took it back into the shed, where he accidentally dropped it, and it detonated. Mr. Peachey’s wife told troopers she was inside with two kids when he came running inside and said he needed to go to the hospital. Mr. Peachey suffered injuries to his face and an eye, and hospital staff removed a piece of shrapnel from his head.
* Those guests don’t know the entertainment they missed.
* Lancaster County’s worst ever gender reveal party.
* What was he thinking? Was he bombed?
* It’s so awful when dumb ideas blow up in your face.
* This is what happens when everyone gets bored of playing Pictionary.
* After this, no one showed up to his 4th of July party, either.
