Worst one I ever did was cut the top of my right hand while changing a 
toner cartridge in a HP Laserjet 4something (one of the big beasts) in
college in '94.  

Didnt notice it at all till I looked down and saw all these little red droplets
on the white printer...  looked at my hand.  "oh.  ow.  someone please hand 
me the kleenex pronto.."

Still have a half-inch scar..

The D1K injury will be healed within a week, it just hurt worse than it
looked. 8-)

stupidest thing I did:
	dead-lifted a HP Laserjet II (yes, the big heavy monster) from the
	front seat of my Firebird to the back seat.. and lifted it "wrong".
	I couldnt walk the next day; spent most of it in bed hurting.
