Oops

[Mblaster]

Ouch, I think my worst injury from a PC was when taking apart a very old Compaq machine that had the molex connecters glued in! Pulling at it as hard as I can, and when it finally lets go my hand goes flying across the case into the corner of the PSU

Oooh, post us up a pic of your war scars. For we are still men

I hate working on older machines as I nearly always end up dripping blood.

I seem to have a thing with hammers at the moment too. I think I got my thumb half a dozen times last weekend. Good job the kids weren't in or they'd have heard some very interesting language!

I didn't know you spoke Klingon

I always seem to end up giving a blood offering to the PC gods as well. But then, I've also managed to cut myself on the rounded plastic edges of a first aid kit. Oh, the irony.

[pollaxe]

Cuts and scratches are one thing, this will scar though (cool )

Maybe by the amount of blood you've offered up for this one then the PC will be correspondingly more powerful??

I got a paper cut from a medical textbook.

I got 2 scars on my right index finger from 1 simple case.

I was removing the 5.25" blanking plate they always seem to leave in place. I spent 2 minutes twisting it slowly and nicely so the bits on the side gave way so it could be removed.

As I was removing it, I caught the small shard that was left on the side and sliced through my knuckle on my finger. Due to the pain I pushed forwards and then sliced my main knuckle.

I could see the tendon in my finger and now I have a weird shaped scar where it is

Nice!

My first thought when I did this last night was "oooh thats deep", then it was "oh, why's it not bleeding yet?....... there is goes!".

Got a large flexible plaster on it and had to lie down in case I threw up :/

[TheAnimus]

are you up to date on your tetiness shots mate?

If you can find a 'wet' plaster i find they are much better at joining sharpe knife cuts together without scaring.

[Funkstar]

Yeah, that and just about every other vaccination you can think of

I thought I had a bottle of the paint on stuff, but it turns out I don't going to get some tonight though as it could be useful for the future.

This is where all that one handed typing practice pays off. I'd imagine.

Ah, but paper is naturally dangerous

I just can't understand how I cut myself on a round edge. Plus there's the factor of being injured by something that's supposed to help patch up injuries.

1-handed typing is sooooooo 1980's

voice dictation and voice navigation is where the 21st Century should be heading.

I'd be worried that I'd accidentally DELETE a FILE
