Can't outsmart stupid.

Exhibit A, with special thanks to Mythbusters:

Bomb Range Engineer #1: We need to blow some stuff up.
Bomb Range Engineer #2: I have no idea what we're doing.
Bomb Range Engineer #1: Anything could happen. It's probably dangerous.
Bomb Range Engineer #2: Very dangerous. Let's do it out in the middle of nowhere.
Bomb Range Engineer #1: Yes.
Bomb Range Engineer #2: We're smart!
Bomb Range Engineer #1: Yep!
Sometime later...
Developer #1: We need to buy some cheap land and get people to build houses there.
Developer #2: Hey, look way out here. Nothing around but something called a "Bomb Range", and a good road leads there!
Developer #1: Sounds like it might be dangerous?
Developer #2: Naw, they have smart engineers. They will do things safely.
Developer #1: Let's get building!
Developer #2: We're rich.
Developer #1: Yep!
