Or you could just use them as a prosthetic posterior to finish off that human centipede you've been making.

you should sharpen it, chrome it, chop off your hand (preferably not your dominant one) and install it as a prosthetic limb.

then you need to wear nothing but black tuxedos, stroke a fluffy white cat that's omnipresent on your lap, and run a secret global crime syndicate that has infiltrated the highest levels of every world government.

I thought this was going to be about Fallout 3. I am disappointed.

As a guy who's considered lopping off his own appendages many times, I would presume he'd use the dominant one to do the choppin'. That's just self-mutilation 101.

And sigged...

I found them digging a hole for a koi pond at my aunts house. I just hosed them off but I found a ton of junk buried back there including silver dollars from 1879 to 1926. Of the thirteen the majority of them were from the 1880s with the youngest being 1900, 1920, and the 1926 dollar coins. I found a lot of old plumbing fixtures which I threw out.

Its like a treasure hunt now. My aunt has lived there since 1979 and the house is from the 40s. She has no idea about any of the prior owners or what was there prior.

Geez, the coins are quite a find, eh?

There's a guy in my area who treasure-hunts with a metal detector along all the "property strips" AKA easements AKA those strips of lawn between the sidewalk and the street, all over the city. I think he does it full-time. I asked him if he found anything good while scanning (and digging!!!) on my property, and he said "no, just some pennies and bottlecaps and junk". Then he left, in a hurry.

Randomly, I'm also reminded of an old made-for-TV movie about some guys in jail having to testify in court about some assaults among the prisoners... One was being cross-examined, and the lawyer held up "exhibit A", a hinged pair of salad tongs, and said "you expect us to believe you were afraid for your life because the defendant came after you with salad tongs?" (laughter in the courtroom) The convict took the salad tongs and held them, one hand gripping each handle, and slammed the tongs shut. Then in a very deep, grave voice he said, "these aren't salad tongs...



...they're ball crushers."
