But if no one was around to hear it, did it actually make a sound?

He lost three fingers in a lawnmower accident a few years back.

I've been able to safely operate lawnmowers for about 20 years now. Something tells me that if you can't mow the grass without losing digits, that might be a sign that you ought to be reassigned to kitchen duty or something.

 
Mr. Furious 2008-02-24 11:15:11 PM  
I think he should have given up the lawn duty when he lost the fingers all those years ago. The cosmos was trying to tell him something, and he didn't listen.

None. He had taken a vow of silence.

When the Buddha said all of life is suffering, I don't think he meant the "caught in a lawnmower" kind.

But at the same time found himself in pieces

 
Manberg 2008-02-24 11:22:27 PM  
It was that or lighting himself on fire. Tough being a monk.

 
ChadManMn 2008-02-24 11:22:37 PM  
Damn.

What do you have to do for the lawnmower karma to come after you?

"The monk, who lost three fingers in a mower accident ten years ago, was sliced up by the cutter in the 12-acre grounds of the Peace Pagoda in Milton Keynes."

...and no one saw that coming after the fingers?

I'm looking ov'a
The dead Rev. Handa
Who was hit by a power mower
One leg is missing, the other is gone
And there's an arm scattered all over the lawn
No need explaining
The one arm remaining
Is spinning on the garage floor
I'm looking ov'a
The dead Rev. Handa
Who I overlooked befooooooooooore...

I'm looking ov'a
The dead Rev. Handa
Who I hit with the power mower
That monk's not praying, he no longer chants
Got hit by the blades, now he's food for ants
No need explaining, there's no monk remaining
Now he is decomposing
I'm looking ov'a
The dead Rev. Handa
Who I made one with everythiiiiiiing!

/thank you, thank you

For our next trick, we will light and monk on fire and THEN run him over with a lawn mower!

not obscure but funny. i laughed anyway.

i couldn't believe i recognized him when he joined the cast of Lost a couple of weeks ago.

and the picture of him is recent. or at least after the finger cutting part.

i'm guessing it was his responsibility to see that the handbrake worked correctly also. oh well.

Sounds like he'd be too stupid to be trusted around food and sharp knives.

He was simply becoming one with the reality of the lawnmower.

It happens now and zen.
