I know these are horrible, but you just have to shake your head at this stuff.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - A Brazilian man died Tuesday when he tried to open what police believe was a rocket-propelled grenade with a sledgehammer in a mechanical workshop on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.

Another man who was in the workshop at the time of the explosion was rushed to a hospital with severe burns, a police officer told Reuters. The workshop was destroyed and several cars parked outside caught fire.

Police found several unexploded army issue rocket-propelled grenades in the workshop. They believe the ammunition had been brought there by scavengers wanting to sell them as scrap metal, but they also are investigating a possible link to Rio's heavily armed drug gangs who often raid military bases.

I do feel bad for the other guy who got burned though...how was he going to know his friend would be a total moron.

Nothing beats that story about the guy who shot his testicles after using a bullet to help get his truck's lights to work. Though it's old, I'll try to find the link for that story.
