I did a google on 40mm rounds, and came up with this, among other links:
If fired into snow or mud, 40mm rounds may not hit hard enough to detonate. An undetonated round may explode when stepped on or driven over.
You gotta google, people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Looks cool, but I'd still be nervous about putting a battery-powered light underwater with me.

Freaksnow update:
It is snowing again, only it looks like the flakes are going UP. Has time reversed itself?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
God is angry at New York for not voting for Bush, obviously.

A battery can't electrocute you, right? You'd just be risking jacking up the light.
I love the idea, but I need a bigger bath. It's kinda full in there with me and the three rubber duckies.
I think I've found the right work shirt. It's got multiple darts and fits me both at the ribs and the breastesses. Thing is, it cost $11.99, and that makes me suspicious. Also, it comes in weird colours.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
