[... doubtable story on scrotum injury ... ]

Just because he submitted an article doesn't mean it happened and the
timeframe (20-25 years later) is suspicious to me.


According to http://www.snopes.com/risque/penile/scrotum.htm soemthing
similar really happened...


back to on-topic: My worst injury fromm woodworking tools i got a few
weeks ago when i hacked 1/4 through the first joint of my left index
finger with a hatchet, but as the hatched was really sharp and clean
the cut healed without more help than a band-aid (but the is a slight
bend now in the finger perpendicular to the usual bending plane)...

With power tools i have exerted enough care not to hurt myself.
