XoB and the WaPo bring us this crazy one today. This is a pair of Russian paratroopers, and they are doing this to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Paratroopers.

It's a good thing his hand's wrapped up. That could sting like the dickens.

dumbshits. oh well, i guess when you can't afford to keep your planes in the air and you've run out of bullets, there is little left to do but to hit each other with hammers.

bet thats going to hurt in the morning...

"Could you crush a man with that?"
"Aye, I could crush you.. like a worm"

More proof that men are weird.

yep, exactly. 'cuz women never do stupid shit. ;)

I wonder what they're planning for the 100th... or will any of them be left?

What do you expect from a group who didn't even have parachutes until 1957?

i can't decide if that guy's trying to swing the hammer really really hard or just laughing really hard and trying to swing a hammer.

From the people who invented Russian Roulette.

Hi gerstle! Welcome to the cellar! I'd bet laughing. Remember that game, "let's have a hitting contest to see who can hit the softest. you go first. *touch*. Ok, my turn, *KAPOW!!!*, Gosh, I guess you win. We're looking at the face of a winner, for sure.

"We've secretly replaced Boris' stone slab with an ordinary pizza box. Let's watch what happens..."

[/voiceover]

Well, it's not as bad as it looks, I mean, he's got his arms in a securely braced position, and he's using that stone slab to absorb some of the blow and evenly distribute . . .

:cool:

Screw it, I can't do it. DUDE! YOU'RE LETTING THAT GUY HIT YOU WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER! Are you RETARDED? :crazy:

hey, thanks. I've been keeping an eye on iotd for a long time (couple years), figured it was about time to start contributing. I haven't found anything else out there as consistently good and amusing as this stuff is.
