Oh dear, I still seem to be on the fireworks "pulpit"! Not only are fireworks bad for pets, but it would appear that they are bad for humans too - albeit that the pets don't have any say in the matter and the humans do. Not withstanding that the humans in this particular story are less than intelligent! Who does stuff like this! Even if you are copying stuff from a movie, surely to goodness, at 22 you are aware that movies are done with stunts and stuntmen who are trained to do the stuff that they do. Surely as a soldier, who had just come back from Iraq, where bombs are flying all over the place, you are aware of what happens with bombs! Surely you understand, even if it is by sight alone, that although the fireworks goes forward, in order for it to do that, something has to come out of the back end!
Good grief man, if you're bored with a fireworks display, find something else to do, like go read a book!

London - A soldier is being treated for his injuries after setting off a firework between his buttocks.The 22-year-old, who told friends he was “bored” with a fireworks display, copied the stunt from the Jackass movie.
He dropped his trousers, and slipped a powerful Black Cat Thunderbolt between his cheeks. A friend set the firework alight and the soldier bent over as the firework exploded in a shower of sparks.
Laughing witnesses at the Sunderland event filmed the episode on a video phone, not realising their friend was badly hurt. The soldier, who had recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, ended up in Sunderland Royal Hospital, where he is being treated for a scorched colon and other injuries.
John Woodhead, chairperson of the Firework Association, said that he had never heard of an incident like it in 45 years.Woodhead added: “This sort of thing is beyond belief. We have spent a long time working with the government to create laws that make fireworks safer and better for the public. This incident is very concerning but hopefully an isolated one.” - Ananova.com
