Danger Will Robinson...

In this past couple of years, I have done plenty of dangerous things.

A few years ago, I went skydiving. I regularly work with items of crushing weight, burning temperatures, and flammable liquids.

I have built an electric car (with up to 144V DC), done household wiring, and been an amatuer race car driver.

Most recently, I built a propane-electric car, and even THAT didn't manage to blow me up.

I even breath fire on occasion! (No joke, great for parties.)

Why am I saying all this?

All these things can be terribly dangerous, but we plan on them, keep fire extinguishers handy, and wear our safety glasses.

What is FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN ALL THESE THINGS?

Me with a kitchen knife.

I feel like a moron. 4 Stitches.



PS: It took me about 10 minutes to type this.
Enjoy the Schadenfreude!
