What have been the worst home handyman accidents you've had,or seen so far ?

I somehow doubt that any of us would really feel lucky in such an event. -- -Mike- |

The message from John B ""johntoymaker\"@large puddle.com" contains these words: While at Tech, doing my apprenticeship we where warned never to wear jewellery, including rings in the work shop. (Although some of the instructors wore ties). To drive home the message several large posters of photographs were displayed. One that I've never forgotten was of a finger with a wedding ring and a long piece of string like stuff protruding from where it had been torn from a hand. This was a tendon that had stayed attached and pulled out from the shoulder. No use or very little left in the blokes arm. That photo made a lasting impression on me as well (back in 1962 or 63). I was thinking about making a similar post myself when I found John had beaten me to it. Probably faked though as the tendon would only go till just after the wrist where it attaches to the muscles that work the fingers. About 6 inches I would estimate. I always took my watch off after being told what happens if you forget and reach between the battery bus bars and never have worn a ring as they are naff and dangerous everywhere not just at work. G'day Roger, Could have been ?? May not have been a tendon, but that's the way I remember it. It still did the trick, even if they played around with it in the 60's and 70's. I won't let the War Office see this in case she takes your point of view and makes me hunt up the ring regards John Between then and now, your recollection of the length of the tendon has been growing longer with each telling. :-) -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

Charley Same thing happened to the guy who had his cottage next to my neighbour's cottage on Lake Huron. The cottage was down at the bottom of a bank, parking up top, just about roof height.He was repairing the roof, roped off to the car when his wife backed the car out to go play cards with her friends down the road. She stopped when she saw him come over the roof, and he ended up falling off the roof and broke his leg. He gets home and is on the mend when his wife decided to do some painting. She cleaned the brushes with turpentine or some other flamable solvent and dumped it down the hole of the outhouse. Poor guy goes in for a crap, sits down and lights his pipe, and drops the (still burning) match down the hole. KABOOOM!!! Now he's got his leg in a cast and second degree burns on his keester.

That first clause is the rationale for what follows. If you don't understand the motivation, a review of colonial history will contribute to your appreciation of the principles involved. You might find a review of the grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence illuminating. The authors of the Constitution ensured that citizens would be empowered to say "No!" to tyranny - both from outside and from within our borders. If you want to rebut by pointing out that there is no tyranny, then I give you my very happiest smiley. :-) | How many gun owners belong to a "well regulated militia"? I, and a great many others here, have so belonged. I was a gun owner before, during, and after so belonging - not much different from millions of other Americans. Like those others I took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and I intend to keep that oath. You might prefer that I do so with a pitchfork or club, but the authors of the Constitution preferred otherwise and gave their preference force of law. My _preferred_ weapons are keyboard and ballot. -- Morris Dovey Declaration of Independence: www.iedu.com/mrd/07041776.html Constitution: www.iedu.com/mrd/Constitution.html |

Millions in fact. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/core/Cont...&site=5&page=0 Now..lets look at gun crime in the UK shall we? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2656875.stm "By 1995 English rates of violent crime were already far higher than America's for every major violent crime except murder and rape. You are now six times more likely to be mugged in London than New York. Why? Because as common law appreciated, not only does an armed individual have the ability to protect himself or herself but criminals are less likely to attack them. They help keep the peace. A study found American burglars fear armed home-owners more than the police. As a result burglaries are much rarer and only 13% occur when people are at home, in contrast to 53% in England. " "A study comparing New York and London over 200 years found the New York homicide rate consistently five times the London rate, although for most of that period residents of both cities had unrestricted access to firearms. When guns were available in England they were seldom used in crime. A government study for 1890-1892 found an average of one handgun homicide a year in a population of 30 million. But murder rates for both countries are now changing. In 1981 the American rate was 8.7 times the English rate, in 1995 it was 5.7 times the English rate, and by last year it was 3.5 times. With American rates described as "in startling free-fall" and British rates as of October 2002 the highest for 100 years the two are on a path to converge. " Oh oh..... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle2317307.ece Geeze..seems like its (murder) is out of control ..and they want to redefine it in the UK.... http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/docs/lc304.pdf 2006 totals of murders by country (by all methods) United States: 12,658 United Kingdom: 850 US population 302,849,527 UK population 60,600,00 US population is nearly 5 times that of the UK Adjusted UK murder rate is 4250 Murders committed by gang members in the US (ages 12- 30yrs) 8,239 12,658 minus 8239 = 4419 or 169 more in the US than in the UK. Odd..shouldnt the numbers be radically different? Odd that with so many guns in the US, as opposed to so few in the UK...why is there only 169 more in the US than in the UK? The numbers of course should be zero or close to it in the UK, with their draconian gun ban. Why isnt it? But then..that explains why rape, hot burglarly and assaults are higher in the UK, by an order of magntude than those in the US. Because its illegal to defend oneself in the UK.Ne? gunner http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/2640817.stm Odd..while the crime rate in the US is falling like a rock..it seems to be skyrocketing in the UK, along with gun crime.

You might find http://www.statscom.org.uk/uploads/f...view-final.pdf to be of interest. Among other things, they point out that in the UK the national crime reporting system has only been in place since 2002. In the US it has been in places since some time in the 1930s and it is generally accepted (at least among those who have been involved with the development of that system) that it initially badly underestimated the amount of crime that went on as the local departments on whose data it relies didn't bother to file reports--now it's mostly automated and tied into the National Crime Information Center. Still, some of the issues raised in the UK report also apply to the US--if nobody reports the crime then it doesn't go into the system for example. Would be very interesting if the difference in US and worldwide crime rates turned out to be an artifact of the reporting. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

How many gun owners belong to a "well regulated militia"? It's not a clause (except to a lawyer), because it contains no predicate. It's a phrase, and the sentence is a type called "nominative absolute." Nominative absolute sentences tell you nothing about the dependency of the clause ("the right of the people..." etc.) upon the phrase. It may be a dependency, or it may be incidental. Often it's a sufficient but not necessary condition. Nobody ever gets this right, so don't feel badly about it. And it wouldn't be the first time the FFs wrote something that was intentionally ambiguous. The whole purpose of the Bill of Rights was to get the anti-federalists to calm down and ratify the Constitution. Nothing more, nothing less. Gunner does identify the source of the idea of our 2nd Amendment as a "right," however, which is English common law. -- Ed Huntress |

FWIW -- as soon as it became obvious that using national guard troops to augment the border patrol / ICE was having very positive effects on reducing illegal immigration, they were removed from such duty.

The idea of armed and trained citizens united in well-regulated and organized local militia units strikes terror in the hearts of politicians and political functionaries everywhere. Oh, I doubt that. Is there some historical support for that, say, in the first years after our independence? There sure were plenty of armed citizens around. Say, George, have you gotten any surprise calls from the NRA lately? I got one last evening, intended for my wife. How they got her on the list I'll never know. It was either AARP or the NJ Education Association. g Anyway, this sweet young thing named Angel asked if I had time to hear from Wayne and I said sure, I hadn't talked to him in nearly 20 years and it would be a pleasure. Wayne came on the phone and started talking but he didn't let up when I talked back. He acted as if he didn't even hear me. I guess we had a bad connection. Wayne was running on about some new bill, H.R. 1022 I think, that the Democrats from Hell had introduced, which must be something awful. If I heard him correctly it allows registered Democrats to slit my throat and disembowel me if I'm caught with a gun, or something like that. Anyway, Wayne was talking a mile a minute (the guy still has *some* energy) and then he left. Another sweet young thing came back on and seemed surprised that I was still there. She said she needed for me to take out a five-year membership for the limited-time price of $100. I started to tell her about why I had not renewed my NRA membership but it obviously didn't interest her, so I changed the subject. I wanted to know how everybody at HQ was doing, and how the gun-rights battle is going. I don't think she was equipped to answer that but she filled in by offering me something if I re-upped; it sounded like some kind of Swiss Army knife. I haven't had one of those so I was intrigued. Then she threw in the real coup de grace: a gen-you-wine, rosewood-handled NRA knife. This excited me. I didn't even wait to hear if it was a sheath knife or a folding knife. I just pictured myself whipping out a knife with "NRA" on the side at a client meeting in NYC, cleaning my fingernails with it while discussing market shares or something. So I told her OK. This appeared to nearly knock her off her seat. I had my choice of magazines (no Playboy, unfortunately, and they didn't offer Harper's or Mother Jones), so I went for trusty old _American Rifleman_. It's time for me to catch up on the new technology, especially those 1,000-yard woodchuck guns. I could sit on a hill near hear and cover half the county with one of those, which may be just a fantasy but it's something that definitely would be easier on my legs than walking all over hell. I would have scoffed at those things 20 years ago but no more. I'm tired of walking. Before she hung up she asked if I wanted to contribute another $15 specifically to take out a political contract on Hillary. I told her don't push it. I wonder how long before I get the Swiss Army thingie and the real prize, my NRA knife? I can't wait. -- Ed Huntress |

Perhaps you can enlighten us with the number of murders by gun crime both in the US and the UK then - just to prove you're right. Remember to cite your sources. Of course. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...ers-per-capita Note that those are total murders by all methods Now lets look at those committed with firearms http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...rms-per-capita Seems that you have more than your fair share of murders by means other than firearms. So a murder by blunt object is superior to murder by bullet eh? Oh..it should be noted that the UK has been under reporting its crime rate by a significant number of incidents. Millions in fact. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/core/Cont...&site=5&page=0 And other countries don't do that? I betya they do. tim When you can provide cites from major media in those countries themselves admitting it, please bring it forth. Aw come on. Everyone knows that the press exagerate (in the UK anyway) and you want me to bring you press reports as *proof*! tim |

Saw the ugliest looking person you ever saw. Grandpa asked him, "What happened to you?" The guy answered, "I got my ponytail caught in the lathe at work!" Yikes 5 minutes later and several aisles over, Grandpa told me, "I ain't gonna ever tell you to get your hair cut again." Didn't have long hair very much after that. Man, these stories are piling up. My 1943 edition of _How to Run a Lathe_ doesn't say anything about it. d8-) A kid at the highschool where a friend's wife teaches always wore baggy track pants to school - regimental. Thought he was IT. One day he somehow got his drawstring caught (wrapped around) on the wood lathe. Got a few good wraps of the track pants wound up too. They got the lathe stopped in time to save "the boys" - but JUST. Didn't faze the idiot at all - - - -- Posted via a free Usenet account fromhttp://www.teranews.com- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a deputy sheriff. He used to have a handsome head of hair. Until the night he got involved in an altercation with a crazed, very intoxicated woman. She grabbed his hair in a death grip and they could not pry her loose for several minutes. By that time, she had torn much of his scalp loose from his head. The resulting injuries were very painful and took awhile to heal. They shaved his head before they did the surgery to reattach his scalp. He had to keep it shaved during the recovery. It has never been more than a half an inch long since. He said if he retires or takes up another line of work, he might grow some hair agin. But as long as he is a law enforcement officer, he will go with a buzz cut. I don't know what a buzz cut is, but I suspect that it is a cut of the hair that can not be grabbed/held. 'Buzz Cut' draws its name from the buzzing sound the clippers make as they ride along the scalp. Think electric dog clippers- basically the same thing. The buzz is 60hz, from the alternating line current, that is used to move the heads back and forth. In UK, it would be a 50hz buzz. You hear it right through your skull. I had buzz cuts as a kid, until I looked in the mirror one day around 4th or 5th grade. I had a pony tail as a teenager, but am back to above-the collar now. The current buzz-cut fad, presumably war-inspired, leaves me cold. Doubt that it really has anything to do with war. Circle goes around--when I was a little kid buzz cuts and crew cuts were popular. When I was a bit older styles got longer (I remember when the Beatles, as they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, had scandalously long hair) and longer and longer and then shorter and shorter and shorter and now we're back to buzz cuts. In another 30 years or so it will be long again. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

I, and a great many others here, have so belonged. United States Code 13 § 311. Militia: composition and classes (a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard. (b) The classes of the militia are- (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia. Pay particular attention to Section 2 Gunner 311.(a) says the militia shall consist of 'able bodied males' between the ages of 17 and 45, and 'females who are members of the National Guard'. I read that as males not in that age group, or females not in the National Guard, are not members of a militia. That's what it says, whether or not one disagrees with it. (2) refers to 'members of the militia', which is defined in 311 (a) From http://www.ushistory.org/people/minutemen.htm "Although the terms militia and minutemen are sometimes used interchangeably today, in the 18th century there was a decided difference between the two. _Militia were men in arms formed _to protect their towns from foreign invasion and ravages of war. Minutemen were a small hand-picked elite force which were required to be highly mobile and able to assemble quickly. _Minutemen were selected from militia muster rolls by their commanding officers_. Typically 25 years of age or younger, they were chosen for their enthusiasm, reliability, and physical strength. Usually about one quarter of the militia served as Minutemen, performing additional duties as such. The Minutemen were the first armed militia to arrive or await a battle. Bring on more insults. http://www.olegvolk.net/gallery/tech...d5882.jpg.html Since you wish to make claims regarding the 18th century.... I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials." - George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788 Militia "The militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves, ... all men capable of bearing arms;..." - "Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republic", 1788 (either Richard Henry Lee or Melancton Smith). "Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Congress shall have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American ... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the People." - Tench Coxe, 1788. http://www.a-human-right.com/predict2_s.jpg http://olegvolk.net/gallery/d/5320-2/freedom.jpg Oh..btw...the 45yr age restriction is unlawful, according to Federal ADA laws. In practice..the age restriction is ignored. Keep in mind that in 1778...45 yrs of age was close to the average life expectancy, so that was considered close to elderly. Oh..something else you should read... "How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: What would things have been like if every police operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? If during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever was at hand? The organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Nobel Prize winner and author of The Gulag Archipelago, who spent 11 years in Soviet concentration camps. http://www.a-human-right.com/s_gulag.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/s_monopoly.jpg Since you have difficulties with written word....perhaps pictures may be of assistance to you... http://www.a-human-right.com/s_order.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/s_racist.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/history_s.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/ http://www.a-human-right.com/s_colors3.jpg http://olegvolk.net/gallery/d/5329-2/defender.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/s_how.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/s_rob.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/s_grenades.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/s_irs.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/panther_s.jpg http://www.a-human-right.com/s_constitutional.jpg Here we go! Hang on, folks, it's the battle of the Gun Quotes, and it's going to be a bumpy ride... So presenting verifyable data points to counter raw emotionalism from my opponents is somehow a bad thing?

You seem to think this is a bad thing? Gunner He doesn't think, he just parrots the anti Second Amendment cult. We don't have a second amendment, you thick septic Actully..you did have a Bill of Rights, which guarenteed weapons ownership, until you used it for bumwad Now you are simply a serf, owned by the State. Doesnt that collar around your neck bother you? Gunner Why is it that some believe that the US Constitution guarantees weapons ownership? Most of these people have never read the law, and those that have read it, completely ignore the first clause of the sentence. "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed". How many gun owners belong to a "well regulated militia"? It seems that the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit disagrees with your intepretation. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
