What kind of machine?
It was a printing machine, a synecroprint(spelling) it looks like a octopus with iron boards, i was testing it out and someone let go of the break so the iron board thing cut into me.

When I was about five years old I found one of those little brass fasteners that you use to hold paper together. I separated the prongs and stuck it into an electrical outlet. It was a shocking experience!
I accidently rode a motocross cycle off a 10 foot cliff in front of all my buddies. It hurt, but nothing was broken. Thank goodness I landed in a sandy wash and not rocks.
I worked in a bar during the summer of 1976, the bicentennial. On July 4th, the bar was packed. The whole town was full of people celebrating. One of the bartenders somehow got hold of a stolen military "tank blast simulator". It's like a stick of dynamite with a pull pin fuse. After the fireworks were over, we went out behind the bar, he pulled the pin and threw it in the lake. We though it would fizzle out, but after about 15 seconds, there was a very loud explosion! We ran back into the bar, and in about another 30 seconds, the police came running in from both the front and back doors! They came in asking us if we had seen anything suspicious! No, not us!
I have lots more stories like this, but some are either too illegal, immoral, or violent to be shared with the world!

1. Flew Solo in a Piper Cherokee 140 on my 16th birthday 6 hours before I got my driver's license. (Got out of Geometry class to do it, too.)
2. Although some others here have done it, too, sky diving.
3. I was in a bank when it was held up at gunpoint. I was the only customer (besides the robber) in the bank at the time of the holdup. The FBI and the police held me for questioning for several hours because they thought I was an accomplice. The bank sent me flowers the next day as an apology. I can't make this stuff up.
4. Won a new car when they pulled my name card in a contest. It was only a Chevrolet Impala, but hey, it was a car.
Best thing to do with a Peep - stick it in a microwave and show little kids how it grows to 4 times its size.

Very Nice Work!
Erm!
I'm not sure that's something to be proud of!
You have the autographs of a Rapist and a Kiddy Fiddler?
Got into a nasty fistfight with a neo-Nazi at age 16 when I found him bashing the head of a Chinese exchange student into the urinal. Although technically I 'started' the fight he was arrested, I was let go. 3 weeks later he was found murdered in his bedsit and I was brought in for questioning. I had nothing to do with it though.
I'm a peaceable guy though!
I also have never eaten a Peep. I had no idea that those yellow chick things had a name!

i have nothing against people doing some work to find out what.. but I'm not going to just tell them straight up
I have met Mike Tyson (and got an autograph) and Michael Jackson (and got an autograph). I was also an extra for Harry Potter and have been in various other stage productions and TV Shows either as an extra or starring role
I too have met Mike Tyson, and I got his autograph. He also put his arm around me.
Along the same vein, I guess one is that I was at the infamous Tyson/Holyfield ear-biting fight. It was incredibly scary.
I have also met and conversed with all the band members in Jamiroquai, which was pretty much a crowning achievement for me... see avatar.
I was evacuated from Iran when the war between Iran & Iraq broke out in the late 70's. I was 6.
How many US kids (US born & raised) can say they had a real, full blown 6th birthday party in Iran?

Haha! Well, I'm 6'3" and 195-200#. Glad you liked the Logo short.
When that first showed at a festival, a girl who was about 5'5" ran into to me by accident. She looked up and screamed, "OMG! You're that killer in the movie!"
She really was scared, so I bought her a drink to prove I really was a nice guy.
And, I still am a fan of bothErm!

And I am sure that Michael Jackson was acquitted was he not?
I saw his Thriller concert when I was a kid, and while he was always my favorite then, I believe the court of public opinion will forever find him guilty of just being a creepy dude in general now.And, I still am a fan of both

Road raced motorcycles on artificial road courses. I used to place but now I can only manage to finish mid-pack. Average?!?! Frak me.
Wow, hell of a leap there, not what I meant at all...

Spot on, glad someone here has the same bad sense of humour as me
Basically I made a call to my boss on my iPhone, who else in here has called my boss on my iPhone?
(If you have can ask him to give me a payrise please)
Ooooh. Haha! Apparently you're far more polite than I am.

You have a strange sense of humor.
Composed two symphonies.
Watched "Amadeus" over 40 times.
Cracked my iPhone's screen accidentally.
Received a personal, signed letter from Milos Forman.
Approached strangers on the streets of Santa Monica, with nothing on me but my clothes, saying nothing but "may I join you?" and "I'm hungry, are you going to feed me now?"
Listened to the song "As" by Stevie Wonder over 1000 times in the past year.
Began playing piano by ear at age 3 and a half.
