Dumbest thing I've done in weeks...

I just finished using a cordless circular saw to cut a coconut in half. My kids watched from outside the minimum safe distance. They think it was the coolest thing ever.

Definitely not a bright thing to do.

I do marvel at how hard the thing was. The saw was smoking and grinding until it bit through the husk. Almost like cutting metal.

Not sure how they managed to eat so many of them on Gilligans Island without power tools.

Machete?

Still, you'd think a circular saw would be easier...

Why is it that "power tool" is the answer that comes to men's minds for so many of life's questions?

Excellent point, Alison. Circular saw is the perfect counterbalance to ducttape.

Why was that "dumb"? Sounds awesome!

It sounds very yummy to me.... Was it edible after you cut into the coconut with a saw that had woodchips on it???
