KNOXVILLE, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say an Iowa family's attempt at a gender reveal party for a soon-to-be-born baby went horribly wrong when a homemade device that was meant to discharge colored powder instead exploded like a pipe bomb, killing a 56-year-old relative. The Marion County Sheriff's office says Pamela Kreimeyer died instantly when debris struck her head Saturday before flying another 432 feet (132 meters) and landing in a nearby field in rural Knoxville, about 35 miles (56 kilometers) southeast of Des Moines. Kreimeyer was 45 feet (14 meters) from the device when it exploded. Authorities say family members had been experimenting with explosives in the hopes of posting a colorful announcement on social media. Family members welded a metal cylinder to a stand and packed it with gunpowder that they thought would send the colored baby powder aloft. But authorities say tape covering the top of the cylinder caused it to detonate like a pipe bomb.
Too many dumb fuck rednecks in this state and the Midwest in general like to fuck around with tannerite. Surprised this is the first time we’ve heard of this happening. In other news a second gender reveal had a similar explosion here in this fine state that same day. https://www.kcrg.com/content/news/N...nd-gender-reveal-party-in-Iowa-564039831.html
They should make that a table that spits out the color when broke in half. Bills Mafia would buy all of them!
My wife forced us to do one last week. Settled on a pumpkin with colored smoke coming out of it. At least I just had to stand there.
We’re having a dinner with friends and family over thanksgiving break and she wants a cake with blue icing. I told her I’m gonna group text everyone beforehand and just tell them.
What you should do instead is make it a Mardi Gras style King cake, but instead of a baby doll baked inside just stuff it with a massive dildo for the reveal.
