: he has inspired me...

: 1. last year, i stuck my finger in the speed controllers by accident. although that did not hurt, i jerked my hand back so fast that i hit my elbow on the frame and scratched my wrist on a screw .....as well as bumping my head. the chain reaction was rather interesting. i was confused as to what hurt most.

: 2. 10AWG wires suck. twisting those suckers with my calous free fingers have poked holes into my fingers.

: 3. do not sit on scrap wood. a nail might be sticking out. (/me cringes at the memory)

: 4. when hammering a pin out, look at the pin itself and not the kid making noise in fron of you. it's dangerous to your thumb's health.

one word: treadmaster (didnt happen to me, but someone on our team got his foot stuck in a treadmaster while running on it at 3am at the nationals.)

also, this didnt have anything to do with first, but one time i was being my usual ninny-like self and for some reason that ive never quite figured out was juggling knives. needless to say, since im not exactly the most coordinated person around, i cut my finger wide open. by wide, i mean more then 1/2 way through. i chipped the bone, and for a while afterwards was able to bend the tip of my finger back so that the nail was against the back of my finger. i put a bandaid on it and pretty much forgot it, but then a couple days later my mom noticed it and asked about it then went ballistic when i told her the story. she thought that i shouldve told her and gotten stiches, but i thought it was fine and couldntve been bothered going to the hospital. she called the doc and found out it was too late to get stiches anyways.

the scary thing is, ive got other similar stories. skiing accidents, sledding accidents, golf cart-flipping-over-while-driving-fast-and-cutting-the-wheel-180-degrees stories...
mike, more scar tissue then regular tissue
