Did some searches, found nothing.

Kids place frog in potato gun

Gun doesn't go off

Kid looks down barrel

Goes off

Frog hits him in the face, breaking bones and leaving him blind in both eyes

:confused:

What kind of a dumbass puts a frog in a potato gun anyway? Cruel little $hit... I'm glad he's blind. I hope people make fun of him for the rest of his life and never let him live it down... then they should make all kinds of blind jokes to him. Then maybe they could pull out his finger nails... yah, then they could pants him..... Then maybe they could make fun of him being blind some more...

I HATE cruel people! :)

Highly unlikely, considering the frog broke bones in the kids head. :p

Did he stick the frog in the gun though? It sounds like other kids were doing it and he looked down the tube to see what was wrong.

Pretty sad and stupid. Someone in 2 years "so how did you become blind?" "Shot myself in the face with a frog." DOH.

We can rebuild it, we have the technology.

ROTFLMAO!

And when the kid is 30 years old and someone asks him how he lost his sight, do you think he will tell the truth?

"Um... I was born this way. " :p

Ugh. I was going to feel sad, but, the kid is 17. At first I thought maybe the gun exploded and was sort-of unexpected... but what a comedy of errors. You think he would have known better than to look down the barrel of a gun, never mind one that was recently fired and didn't go off. 17yo, did they have loony toons on TV when he was a kid?
