How to "Steal This Book"

Step 2 OOPS!

So that's what it's like to feel really stupid.
The blade kicked back when it hit the bone of my finger, knocking it away.
Lucky for me the flying pieces of finger didn't put my eye out.
I'll just use this bloody tube of paper instead of a finger. Pleased to meet you!

This has really been a lucky day. I didn't even get any blood on the book, so the scans are fine.

That's not as bad as my English teacher who put his hand in a snowblower and almost severed 3 fingers...just severed tendons.  Nothing a little plastic sugery couldn't fix.

I have a friend who actually reached inside of a blender with his fingers while crushing ice to try and move the uncrushed cubes around, and he was not even high! It looked like delicious cherry flavor Italian ice.

Fortunately the wounds were superficial.

I split open my toe stepping (slipping) out of the shower. Can I join?

[mettaurlover]

you should join my club. it's for all of us who have done something extremely stupid in our lives, or injured ourselves due to something we forgot to do.

I staple gunned my own thumb, coolest xray ever.

HEY ill join =P

i was stupid and went and touched the casing of a compressed Armstrongs Mixture after i lit it and it didnt go off...

Spent that saturday morning in the hospital, and the rest of the weekend, with my hand straight up in the air to stop the throbbing. My hand is all healed now, but i got some nasty chemical burns, and my nail got ripped back, and yeah its so not fun =P

if you wanna see the stuff that i blew up with look up
Potassium Chlorate and Red Phosphorous
on youtube, its pretty intense.

[jakezcop]

[mettaurlover]

Well, a few weeks ago, I challenged my son to a race through and obstacle course. I ended up with a free trip to the hospital in an ambulance (sure wish I could remember it), concussion and a sore back and neck for four weeks. Seems I fell off the top of a cargo net tied to a couple of trees and landed hard on the ground (there was a mattress which I did land on - well, most of me that is). Knocked myself out. Hubby reckons the section of ground where my head hit (and strangely enough, I had no sore spot or lump on my head) was going to be called McIntyres folly and used as a swimming pool (funny fellah, my husband). Another side effect has been a distinct dislike of food that is too fatty or too sugary and I am now finding my battle with being over weight much easier to fight and I have lost quite a bit of the excess and the plans to loose the rest of it on track. Hiubby doesn't think the concussion diet is going to catch on however. LOL

I vaguely remember reading that there were doctors, if you could call them that, that would take little hammers and pound the bumps of the skull for various reasons. Too much weight, not enough, not tall enough, and so on...

You're talking about Phrenology, a Victorian belief that you could determine someones personality by the shape of their head.

[mettaurlover]

No; that's something different. I think this is like the practice fo drilling holes in people's skulls.

[KahlZun]

What, trepanning?

[mettaurlover]

Yes, actually.

[mettaurlover]

you can join.

[deph_tek]

I tripped over a sign that said do not walk here...It was the second day of a 3 week trip to France with the fam and I broke my wrist lol Can I join??

[mettaurlover]

yes, you can join... anyone who does something that stupid can join.

[Kryptonite]

I tried something new while ice-skating and learned the hard way that ice is really quite hard... And then I learned that shortly after a concussion you shouldn't wolf down your food because your hungry. Hooray for my first trip to hospital!

[elmejor06]

I tink these peoople fit in your club.

[Kryptonite]

The Pill Pusher story made me put my face in my hands and cry. With laughter.

[mettaurlover]

...
agreed...

[mettaurlover]

...
yeah... people who fall short of that are who i made the group for... that and the people who just don't pay attention to their surroundings at all...

I was using a stationary belt sander, then the part I was sanding kicked back, and the palm of my hand got sucked between the belt wheel and the table. It sanded off a several layers of skin on my palm before I was able to turn it off. About a quarter of my palm has no handprint lines now, it's just flat scars.

[hedgiehog]

the chain on my bike once slipped and the metal pedal gouged into the back of my calf, ripping out a small chunk. heres the pic lol

[Ekips]

Damn lol did a pirate stitch that up for you?

[me!]

isnt that finger whole in the previous slide?

[lordofthedonuts]

I sympatize, I just cut myself with a utility knife, we're in the same situation :P

[brandon borick]

really so did I the blade slipped back ant tore not cut but tore my balm open 2 rows of 6 stitches size 2

[shamanwhitewolf]

Ditto. Using a skiver while under the influence of harsh cold medicine when you've never used one before? Bad Idea (tm). Idiot me, pulled it towards the hand holding the leather down. Interesting set of scars on those fingers.

Last year, when I was working on a wood related project for school, two of my fingers got grabbed by the blade, and pretty much the same thing happened as you described. It left my pinky and ring finger looking a little messed up. Healed now =)

[baneat]

very nearly killed myself in Technical class. I was told to use a really wide drill (like 15cm wide) and cut a big circle in my star shaped piece of plywood, so as to fit a mirror on it. the wood got stuck to the drill and started spinning around like a crazy death-star, eventually coming off the drill and sticking (very deeply) into the drywall beside the machine!

[frollard]

Thats why you clamp your piece down when using a drill-press :D

[DELETED_craz meanman]

[wupme]

You can, if you fasten that piece of wood really good, and use nearly non pressure.

[mettaurlover]

if you do, does that mean you're suicidal?

[DELETED_craz meanman]

[mettaurlover]

or does it mean that you want to make a gaping hole in your wall?

[mettaurlover]
