Wow... sorry I started this off-topic discussion updating you guys about my shoulder (and resulting non-work on the mod); I had no idea it had been split until now.  I'll have to watch what I say on my own forum in the future lest it upset the delicate sensibilities of others.

(Begin insertion of unoriginal cliched phrase)  Famous Last Words.  (/cliche)

I can just imagine a random bystander's reaction to your injury, btw.

Lord Doomhammer: Excuse me there, good Sir/ma'am.  I seem to have impaled myself through my leg and quite possibly severed several organic materials within that are both important and vital to my health and continued breathing.  In fact, the wound seems to be exsanguinating with a rapidity that makes me feel uncomfortable and I fear that I shall soon slip into the sweet sweet bliss of coma or at the very least total shock should this continue. I would get up and go to the nearest medical facility to rectify this egracious error myself, but I seem to be unable to properly place any weight on said appendage, thereby inhibiting any mode of traction I may be wont to employ.  Would you be so kind as to notify the proper authorities as to my condition so I can get the aid I feel I deserve at this particular moment?

Eh, Noctalys, you reminded me of something nasty.

(This one was SO painful once I actually REALIZED what had happened.)

I'd had my ears pierced a while ago, and had just gotten to the point where I could swap earrings. Without knowing that I was allergic to the el cheapo ones from the local chemist. So, of course, I had a major allergic reaction. Sitting in class, scratch scratch scratch, oooooh, it's gone all warm and slippery, that's nice, scratch scratch... Suddenly the whole room goes DEAD quiet (quite the achievement for 32 rowdy teenagers!) and look at me in disbelief. "What?" They point at my hand. Covered in blood. O-kay... I look at my book. HOLY CRAP!!!! I look at the collar of my pretty blue shirt. EVEN HOLIER CRAP!!!!

Let's just say that my shirt took three trips through the washing machine, my book was a write-off, I almost fainted from blood loss and I never wore an earring in that ear again. Allergies suck.

I know, I know, this is probably dead, but once something gets set in my mind, it must be told...

Xiao.. holy crap!!  :o

Yeah, I'll bet that was a bit of a bad day.

Did you get your name from those stick figure flash things? Those are great.

Back on topic.. I've actually have had lots of minor injuries, but nothing major so far. I hope to keep it that way.

me i am just majorly accident prone...especially in sports
let me just list what happened to me in one week:
volleyball to the back of the head
crashed my bike into the curb and went flying over
got a soccer ball in the stomach
got a soccer ball in the eye (in the same game as previous and it turned into a HUGE black eye)
crashed into a pole (while I was walking...embarassing)
crashed into a girl while running to class....and since i was the smaller one i flew back five feet while she was hardly moved.
got kick in the shin about 50 times while playing soccer
dropped my flute case on my foot (those things are hard!!! and painfull!!!! i am just thankfull my flute was unharmed)
yeah...i had many burises from that week....painfull
now don't get me wrong...I am not normally THIS accident prone, just a bad week.
but i can be VERY danger prone...and people wonder why I stay away from sports...

hehehehe...

I USED to be accident prone. When I was five, I had this tendency to bang my head very hard on sharp corners. I got stitches, on my head, three times in one year.

Though the third happened when a swing clocked me on the temple. Hee!

It's a bit on the violent side. The guy who did it is very talented though.

Heh... I once had a teacher who was 6'9". His wife was 4'11" or 4'10", I can't remember exactly. Now they made an interesting couple.

Wow, that IS a difference.

I'm kinda.. lucky?.. in that regard. My SO is 5'10'', so he doesn't TOWER over me at least. Although he still complains that I'm going to give him back problems.  ;D

[EDIT]

An actual injury to report..

Thought I was supposed to be at work today at 12:30, when actually it was 12:00. Ran to work (I live down the road), managed to slip on something in the parking lot, totally wiped out. I think I took a layer of skin off my knee. Also managed to rip a hole in my new jeans.

But I think I'll live. Maybe.  ;D
