[Gui Cavalcanti]

Ooh boy, the reason I didn't include soldering irons in my post is because there are so many incidents involving them, myself, and a senior last year named Mark...

Last year we were working on soldering our control board, and it was a several day process. Mark had his own soldering iron, so he had to take it home every day. However, it had a cardboard box, so he obviously had to let it cool before it went in the box. His favorite technique of determining whether it was cool or not - touch it to your palm.

"Hey mark! Is it cool yet?"
"Hang on... let me check..."
*YELP*
"Yeah, it's still hot."

I removed my left pointer finger's fingerprint while working with a soldering iron and a hot-glue gun. I accidently brushed the soldering iron with my finger while getting up from the desk, realized I had to finish something quickly before it cooled down, hot-glued a part, and then brushed my finger against the hot glue, which stuck to the previously soldered part of my finger. Ouch.
