How to Shoot an Anvil 200 Feet in the Air

[Thanks to Tommy]
If ever there was an activity which demonstrates a clear gender-divide of understanding...
For instance, I don't like beer or sports, but I'd watch this, sure. Once at least.

I have seen an anvil burst into pieces and a guy who was experimenting with explosives with half of it in his stomach.

Only human stupidity is boundless!

This is for instance why Russians make best cosmonauts:

That was pretty cool.

That guy "interviewing" Gay had a haircut like Lloyd Christmas.

I thought it was pretty hilarious. Although anyone who thinks that flimsy piece of scrap metal is an anvil has obviously never seen a real one. I challenge Mr World Champion to launch my 500lbs anvil!

Me too. Just to see if the anvil falls back on his head.
Evil anvil! }:-)

"Only human stupidity is boundless!"
Oh, I see you've read Einstein. :-)
"...but I'm not sure about the Universe."

"Completely speechless!
Why?"

That be the effects of Testosterone, M'lady. Aye, a sad sight indeed.

"I challenge Mr World Champion to launch my 500lbs anvil!"
Oh, a challenge then? Well, I bet mine is bigger than yours!

[high-pitched delicate voice]
And I bet it flies more graciously, too. So there!

That is a real one. Most blacksmiths had a variety for different jobs.

To launch a 500 lb. one would just require that much more gunpowder, obviously.
