Not to mention when it lands flat and does not pierce the ground at all.

Yeah. You tell that to Lia Mara Lourenco...

I guess I was thinking that if the javelin did not stick, it would make some sort of tear in the ground. You wouldn't need to be right up on it to spot it and find it later.

But, the javelin experts have set me straight. I had no idea of the intricacies involved in stick throwing. I apologize to the many javelin advocates and hope that I haven't offended your sensibilities with my ignorance of this most beloved of activities.

Impale away, I say!

(hangs head in shame)

What's black and white and red and can't use a revolving door?

Thanks for the welcome Spexxvet!

I have been looking at the cellar for a few months and usually laughing my head off at the sharp wit the flows freely around here.

It took me a while to get in because all the cellar responses were whacked out by spam filters.. ARGH!! Death to spammers.

I wounder what it's like to be watching a javelin coming in your direction from out of the sky and to lose it... in glare, or clouds, or the sun, as it is the size of a quarter coming at you. Then you have a short time to wonder..... where it will hit... ARGH!! - MY *&%^$*%#$ FOOT!!!! (medic!)

Not shotput or discus, but another track & field event ...

This video went around when I was pole vaulting in college. I'm sure many of you have seen it.

I did injure myself, but all I did was fall from 15 feet and snap my ankle in two places. Piddlyshit.

This IOTD should be a wake up call for all members; make sure you have a current tetanus shot!

Ouch. I don't even have one of those and I feel the pain!
