Nermal said:Personally I've been in hospital once, when I was somewhere between 10 and 15. I was running around in the dark (stupid) and tripped, and knocked my head on a metal table. It missed my right eye by about half a cm, and I can still see the remains of the scar if I squint (I'm 22 now).
I only spent about an hour in hospital from that though, then a quick visit to the doctor a week later to get the stitches removed. It's scary though, because I almost lost my eye
I did something similar when I was little. I think I was somewhere around 6 or 7. I was brushing my teeth (no! anything but that!), standing on a little stool (not a stool!), when I slipped off and hit my head on the corner of the counter, a very sharp corner. I, too, missed my eye by about a a half a centimeter and got stitches. Although I think I've finally lost my scar (I'm just about 19 now).
I also have been to the emergency room for stitches on one other occasion, when I nearly broke my wrist, when I nearly broke a finger, and when I got a concussion. I'd have to say the concussion was the most embarrassing. Let's just say that it involved playing croquet, the most dangerous of all sports. To be fair, I was only 8.

you shouldnt tease us like that, come on! LoL whatever the incident was im sure it will be a long lasting memory for you
That was a quick reply!
Yeah, it was a teaser. The waterfall was only a couple of metres high so it's really a non-story.

You could waste some time by crossposting Slashdot articles into the Current Events forum
NB: I am not actually suggesting that anyone do this.
Unless it's interesting news

wdlove said:The word should be it. Meaning that using a jack hammer can do internal damage also, many times the kidney. It all the vibration that does the damage.
I'm sorry for the error.
We forgive you. I guess that it should be 'it' but it was more fun to make fun of the lack of the 't' in it.

Yeah. The most interesting part of the thread was picking on the typo.
