WE'RE EXPECTING !!!!!!

A woman in Iowa died during a gender reveal announcement on Saturday after flying debris from an explosion from what amounted to a homemade pipe bomb struck her, the authorities said on Monday.

The woman, Pamela Kreimeyer, 56, died instantly after she was struck in the head by a piece of metal from a device that was intended to reveal the sex of the baby, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Monday.

...“Our investigation showed that members of the Kreimeyer family were experimenting with different types of explosive material on Friday and Saturday in an attempt to record a gender reveal that could be posted on social media for friends and family,” the statement said.

The family was trying to create a device that could shoot colored powder into the air to share the gender of the baby, the statement said

Gunpowder was placed in the bottom of a homemade stand that was welded to a metal base.

“A hole had been drilled in the side for a fuse, a piece of wood was placed on top of the gunpowder and colored powder was placed on top of the board,” the statement said. “Tape was then wrapped over the top of the metal tubing, inadvertently creating a pipe bomb. Instead of the gunpowder shooting the powder out the top of the stand, the stand exploded sending metal pieces flying.”

One of these metal pieces struck Ms. Kreimeyer in the head, “causing instant death,” the statement said.

She was standing with other family members about 45 feet from the device. The projectile that struck her continued 144 yards farther through the air and landed in a field, the statement said.

... she wasn't expecting that!

something something nuclear family

- "Psst. By the way, the baby's going to be a girl!"

- "Ok, that's great. Listen, I think he's about to do the eulogy..."

This may be the worst + funniest gender reveal I have seen

whatever happened to just posting an ultrasound on Facebook and having half the people guess incorrectly?

young people today do everything wrong

I mean, if you're looking for a silver lining, this happened during the gender bomb prep, not during the full-on reveal with 36 close relatives standing around it.

after human cloning is perfected, people will reveal the gender of their baby at a party by murdering their favorite aunt/uncle. then they will feast on smoked michael bay.

You're right, this is the wrong thread. Let's pray that there's never a right thread for these, ok?

this would make all three series so much better

i socialized my ilx thought on twitter, i'm sorry

This is why copyright sucks. Baby Jesus Sonic with Batman and Shrek as Joseph and Mary, guest starring Wayne Gretzky as the wise man, would be incomparably greater, even if it were poorly executed. SEGA, Disney, and WB wouldn't let it happen because they know they can't compete. https://t.co/mQKK5l4h0H

what's weird is i don't think most people are recognizing all the Nativity scene references. i guess they're obvious enough that they don't bear mentioning, but i love the subtle inclusion of jesus/sonic, shrek as the virgin mary, batman as best supporting actor in a miniseries.

amazing! unbeelievable!

I'm not sure what disturbs me more: the bees, or "Poetry."

the baby's name will be poetree

Poignant explanation from the Bee Lady (who, btw, is still carazy as hell.)

I.. couldn't see an explanation about why she has bees on her, which to me was the notable thing about the photos
Many sympathies and best of luck to her family though

Combo of difficult experiences + love of bees?

I mean, no, it doesn't add up on my calculator, per se...

some kids don't know their parents are crazy until high school. Kids itt have a leg up there.

I mean, is this lady a beekeeper? Or did she just hire bees specifically for this purpose????? Is this even a thing?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/08/us/man-killed-cannon-baby-shower-trnd/index.html

the fact that it was an irl ~cannon~ filled with ~too mich gunpowder~

like

folks

what were they even trying to do here bc surely their intent was not to kill a friend jfc

The homeowner had purchased the cannon at an auction and had fired it several times before

imagine having this dolt for a neighbour.

Would it be untoward to say... that someone wasn't expecting?
