VENTURA, California (AP) -- A teacher who kept a 40 mm shell on his desk as a paperweight blew off part of his hand when he apparently used the object to try to squash a bug, authorities say.

Depending on the popularity of this teacher, I'm guessing the student body is having a field day with this.

bahahaha! Good find.

Sucks for him.. says he is a computer teacher as well so that missing hand isn't going to make his job any easier.

Here's more proof that some educators aren't very smart.

That could happen to anyone. Jesus. You guys are kinda lame for calling him not very "smart". You don't even know the dude.

Torx · 04-04-2006, 05:39 PM

WTF? He found a pretty large munition laying in a field, took it to work, used it as a paperweight, and then pounded it on his desk trying to kill a bug - and this doesn't make him a moron? People get their limbs blown off stepping on / fucking with stuff like this all of the time, and this idiot took it into a classroom full of students?

If my child were in his class I'd call for him to be fired.

It's middle school, what do you expect?

Torx · 04-04-2006, 07:37 PM

yea and on top of all that dude took amunition TO SCHOOL.
that shit coulda fell off the desk and rounded off into some little kids head.

Sweatervest · 04-04-2006, 07:45 PM

To be honest - I had no idea that bullets could explode. I just thought they were shot out of the end of a gun. You'd think that if you found a bullet on the ground, even if it had anything inside of it, that it was probably all used up.

mistawiskas · 04-04-2006, 08:01 PM

A fourtyMM shell is not a bullet, it is an anti aircraft round. They are huge. The round is about 5 inches long and packed with explosives, the whole thing is about 16 inches long. I used to have a dumb-dumb that I got at a naval surplus salvage yard in Portland....I made a cool bong out of it. I don't have a college education and I know this. This guy should be prossecuted for having explosives in the classroom....ignorance is no excuse.

And Tac, what say we get some shit started and get that school principal to return all the "American" taxpayer's dollars that she buys her groceries with and makes her mortgage for the home she has in "America"? That shit pisses me off to no end.

MSP · 04-04-2006, 08:13 PM

There's a backpacking place, I think it West Virginia, that used to be used as an Army artillery range back during WWII. Every once in a while you still hear about guys stepping on unexploded ordinance and losing a leg. That shit lasts forever because the brass doesn't corrode.

Hell, out west a few years ago some guy got blown up by fiddling with one of those unexploded Japanese balloon bombs.

Sweatervest · 04-04-2006, 08:14 PM

Oh shit. If I saw something that big, I might get a clue. I take back what I said.

He's still a teacher; you'd think he'd be a little intelligent.

Which brings me back to what I was saying a few weeks ago about a lot of people being in academia that couldn't make it in the real world.

MSP I would not consider a middle school teacher someone in academia.

NoseMaster · 04-04-2006, 10:33 PM

I was just sort of thinking a random bullet, but 44 mm is pretty big. Still, does that happen with every kind of bullet?

Nothing. · 04-04-2006, 11:11 PM

Lol, I even knew that.

That teacher, is a moron.
