True or not - Can a pizza be a weapon? - See how email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life1 year ago

A Florida pizza delivery man was challenged by armed robbers. The only possibility to fight against them was - a hot pepperoni pizza -

He threw the pizza towards them and could make a getaway, even one of them shot towards him.

Can this be true, can a hot pizza get such a powerful weapon?

if you got them in the face with it,it might give you enough time to get away.
my brother used to work for pizza delivery,and some of them were blazing hot in the box.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hello scarlet_woman,

nice to read from you again.

I believe if you get them as hot as some delivery services bring it to me, then there is no way that you don't get hurt by the heat and the cheese that will glue on your skin.

I would like to see the face of one of the youths who they have arrested afterwards. Must be usually a sign somewhere in the face;-)

Have a good day and keep on posting!

Agree with the post above me. Hit someone in the face with a hot pizza, it'll be nice and deadly. Plus, if it's got loads of toppings and everything, that could block their view for an even longer amount of time, in which time you could get away.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hi thehuntedfuzz,

at least the robbers got one thing for free - a flying fresh and hot pizza:-)

I believe they will take more care next time from whom they want to rob something.

And look especially for unusual weapons of their victims;-)

Have a nice time in myLot and don't forget to take a hot pizza with you when you walk in the night outside;-)


thehuntedfuzz (72)   ranked 7,739 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Heh thanks:)

Then again, if I took that pizza out with me, I'd have eaten it long before I'd be attacked, what then? The empty pizza box? I could fit it with metal teeth and a motor and maybe it could eat their heads off:D

The whole point here is presence of mind,without that even if you have a weapon then you won't be able to fire it.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Good morning sunita64,

you are right. The mind must be in complete control of this whole situation to act within seconds so that the pizza guy only has to throw the pizza towards the robbers.

I believe he didn't think much about it, he just threw the pizza in their direction and then the natural flee instinct came into his mind and he run away.

What do you think?

Have a nice week!

I agree sunita, the whole point IS presence of mind...

oh no my dear it was not the pizza but only diversion to escape so you are trying to explain that in the event of such a tragedy what a fellow should do Thanks my dear to teach such a lesson to avoid ourselves from such a situation


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hello pcbajaj,

it's nice that you look at this news report as a lesson for all of us, so that we are more aware which possibilities we could have when we are in the same situation.

Yes, i think it's kind of informative, funny and a lesson, how fast someone can react to save his life - with a pizza.

Have a nice time mylotting!

lol..I would have never thought a pizza could be a weapon. They are the temperature of the sun when you get them though. I guess anything can become a weapon if you use it right.lol I wouldn't have thought about using a pizza though.I can think of one or two people I'd like to pizza though.lol j/k.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hello JenInTN,

it's a quite funny story how you can fight against robbers.

Sometimes it's just imagination that's needed to get to those brilliant ideas. Sometimes you need courage to make the right decision to the right times.

I think he did a great job, i learned a new lessen in self-defending:-)

Have a nice day!


myLot reputation of 100/100. JenInTN (3744)   ranked 523 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

I've been thinking about it and my purse has about 2 pounds of change in it..lol...I could swing it around like a knumchuk..lol..robbers beware!


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hi JenInTN,

perhaps we should figure out Things that are extraordinary weapons of which nobody has thought before and then make them public in the internet, would be much fun:-)

Let's see waht happens!


myLot reputation of 100/100. JenInTN (3744)   ranked 523 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

lol...I'm in...How about my loose makeup powder..That stuff will put an eye out!

this is really amzing news and its show also that mind is that which use instantly, and one who use it at the required time he became hero like this person. people hidden power only see at typical situation like this, and at that time we should try to best use what we have this is what known as critical management, happy mylotting:-)


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hello moneymaya,

i absolutely agree with you.

The mind has many powers which we don't know yet how they are activated and why we sometimes "know" how to react within milliseconds. Seems for me like very old-aged reflexes, too.

Do you know more about these kind of mind "games"?

Have a good start in this 2nd last weekend of 2008!

wow, this is unusual! the delivery man was very resourceful! A pizza can definitely be a weapon(a yummy weapon, that is;p) especially if it has a lot of hot melted cheese on it! ouch.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hello katemeow,

unusual practices at unusual times= extraordinary capacities in his mind? Or was it just luck in the correct moment?

We don't know, we also could call it a wonder that all of the youngsters were so shocked that they didn't hunt him afterwards.

Let's wait for the next extraordinary weapon in the news in the next weeks:-)

Have a good time and Merry Christmas!

This is an unusual use of a hot pizza. I guess robbers can be distracted by a hot pizza thrown at them. Cheers!!


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hello underdogtoo,

very new method to defend yourself and win this game, too:-)

Let's hope the youngsters learned their lesson and look for a serious job instead of doing robberies.

Have a nice time in myLot and Merry Christmas!

It's got to be because no one can resist fresh hot pizza. I'm glad he was also fast on his feet. And his mind worked that way also.


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hello savypat,

oh yes, you're right too. I love pizza as well. But for this kind of pizza i wouldn't have so much appetite;-)

Let's see if they are so shocked for their life and avoid pizza next time.

Have a good time!

Hi cornyman,


Yes, its possible, you can throw pizzas at the robbers face and then when they get blinded you got a chance to get away from them.


Tamara


myLot reputation of 76/100. cornyman (358)   ranked 3,135 out of 38,461 in life  1 year ago

Hello Tamara,

hopefully they are not really blinded;-) This would be a little bit too much of self-defense. I think in America they could ask the judge for money because of this painful event (like one person did with McDonalds and the hot coffee many years ago and got some millions for it). Ok, this was very ironic now. Will not happen, the judge is not that blind to know this is an acceptable defense.

Enjoy the weekend and Christmas!
