Maybe . . . Naah, I'm not going to encourage the DUmmies.

A new sport is coming to Denver: Ax throwing.
Two recreational ax-throwing venues opening this summer are trying to prove that Canadian backyard shenanigans can be as popular as bowling and pub darts, with a little more risk.
In large open rooms, pairs of competitors square off inside metal cages that protect spectators — perhaps beers in hand — from hatchets flying toward large wooden targets.
The owners hope to capitalize on a growing national trend, captivating corporate team-bonding groups, competitive ax throwers, bachelorette parties and downtown bar-hoppers with what they call an exciting new way to spend a Saturday night.
Downtown Art Gallery and Axe Room was the first to market with a soft opening on June 16. For now, the 5,600-square-foot art gallery and ax-throwing venue at 2000 Lawrence St. in Lower Downtown is only open to scheduled groups. Patrons each pay $35 for a three-hour session.
Sounds . . . interesting.
There are pictures of the enclosures at the link.
