My wife's Uncle Bill broke one off like that and it hit him directly between the eyes. 4 oz. pyramid. The Doc lost count of the stitches. Bill drove from Truro to Bolton holding his noggin to get to his Doc. He was one tough sob. That weight was mounted on a plaque in his living room.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

SOMEONE railed a 3oz pyramid off my arm a couple summers ago after it got stuck in the weeds.

It was almost very very painful...
