Death by coconut

[Fish_Whisperer]

Not much of a sense of humor today, Don? Maybe it'll grow back, like a lizard's tail...

I read somewhere that more people are killed by vending machines falling on them each year than by sharks...

I thought about this the other day when I was rocking the vending machine at work trying to get out my snack!

If this happened on a dive trip, would this be covered by DAN, Don?



Actually, I never realized how big coconuts were before their husks are removed. Dang! :11:

Thank you for the pictures Don.

Huh? Who claimed I had a sense of humor? :11:

I think I've read that deer collisions kill about 100 times as many as sharks in the US. But from When vending machines attack - News
"Many go as far as to tilt it over. It seems harmless, but these actions have resulted in 37 deaths and 113 injuries since 1978, according to the CPSC, or Consumer Product Safety Commission." I guess that's about even with the shark accident rate for the US?

Coconuts are not as dangerous as Coconut Crabs. These are the reason that you don't want to get lost in the tropics. Can strip a 400 pound boar in a week flat.

I have a monster coconut tree in my backyard, I guess I am doomed(lol)

That is one scary looking crab. :sofa:
He would be even scary like this :speargun:

But the real question is... how does he taste with butter? :20:

That does it, I'm inventing a drink! Death by Coconut! It'll be served in coconut halfs with coconut rum and fruit punch!

Coconut control = crime control!

Coconuts bankrupting the insurance business!

A menace in modern times!
