Aussie men shoot each other in buttocks ‘to see if it hurts’
Two Australian men needed surgery after shooting each other in the buttocks during a drinking session to see if it would hurt, police said on Wednesday.
The men, both aged 34, used an air rifle to fire at each other on Sunday. By Tuesday, both were in hospital to have pellets removed from their buttocks and legs.
Criticise them if you wish for mixing guns and alcohol, but you have to admire their commitment to empiricism.
And there’s something else we can learn from this. You notice how one guy shot his friend (doubtless hurting him), but then it was his turn to get shot? This just shows that an experiment isn’t really valid unless it’s replicable.

Haha, that seems so typical of the mentality of some Aussie blokes.
