I once touched the stinger of a dead bee with the tip of my middle finger to see if it could still sting you when it is dead.

They can and do sting while dead!!!

My buddy had a Honda 50 step through... We thought with me on it, I could jump over this pond we had... Have you ever tried to get a honda 50 off the bottom of a muddy pond?

I have to say though the more I think about it toys or no toys we found some pretty awesome things to do that had a high probability of serious injury...And they were awesome. I remember at one of my friend's places up north they had this great hill for sledding not only was it steep and covered with ice it had hazards like bramble bushes, trees and you had to watch your speed since at the bottom was a partially frozen creek. So much fun. We also used to play flashlight tag, but since it was in the woods we would build pit traps, and hidden platforms, again so much fun, now that I think back on that I am surprised no one ever got seriously hurt.

Damn! I did that too, and I never told anyone. Agreed. It hurt like hell!

You forgot auto crashes. Maybe we should wear hlemets while driving...?

Riding a horse: Need a helmet

Driving in a car: Don't need a helmet.

Makes perfect sense huh?

Just kidding.. I have always admired Japan and it's culture.
LOL -- you got me there!

But a lot of the new sumo guys are neither Japanese nor fat. This is Takanoyama (he's from the Czech Republic):
