[edit] I took one of these to the forehead once
It stuck in place. Those were innocent times. Should I add a picture of the scar? - Richfife 00:11, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hah, and I had a Tonka Truck zoom off a ramp and into my forehead. The blood flowed like tapwater. Fun times. Bastie 02:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, if you have a photo of the scar, that might add something worthwhile to the article. WilyD 13:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'll take one. It's mild, but noticable. Especially if the light is right. - Richfife 16:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- My camera won't focus closely enough. I can't get enough pixels to show it off. - Richfife 17:28, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Variations
There were several versions of lawn darts made by different companies. One of the oddest was mostly plastic, with only the tip being metal. The fins were free to rotate and slide along a plastic shaft. The three fins had angled tips so they'd spin during flight, presumably to improve accuracy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.136.145.226 (talk) 04:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC).
