Danger from personal computers? Most people think of electromagnetic fields or getting zapped while monkeying around inside the box. Nothing immediately threatening could happen while just printing a spreadsheet. Right?

That's what I thought until last week when my wife was severely bitten by our kitten as it was hanging in mid-air by the tip of its tail. It all started so innocently. Our 8-month-old kitten likes to lie on top of our Apple Personal LaserWriter LS. We have tried to get him off, but he keeps getting back up on it. He must like the hum. My wife was printing a few pages in the background. While she was talking on the phone, there suddenly was a shriek from the kitten. The printer was only about 2 feet away from her, luckily turned the opposite direction. The kitten was sprawled stiff on top of the printer, like he had been stuffed. We just had him declawed, but his teeth were grabbing at anything in sight, including my wife's arm as she tried to turn off the printer. The party on the other end of the phone thought that both the kitten and my wife were being murdered.

After a few deep bites, the printer was off, but the tail was still stuck in the top roller that ejects the paper from the printer. Apparently, the hair on the tip of his tail had gotten inside the roller and was sucked in as the paper was being fed out. While my wife was getting a towel to prevent further injury, the kitten jumped off the side of the printer. The top of the desk is slightly waxed and the printer nearly slid off. It would have landed on top of him. Can you imagine how hard it is to figure out how to open a printer under these conditions? Before she got the towel around him, the kitten took a few more deep bites out of my wife's leg through her bluejeans! After what must have seemed like an eternity, my wife got the printer open and freed the kitten. :lol:

OMG.. I never had that happen to me.. but I have a funny story of my own.. well it was funny to me.


I was cruisin one night and I was having alot of fun, but then the strip died quickly so I drove around some more and decided to go home. I love 30 minutes away from the strip going the speed limit, but I always break it because I go home at 2 im the morning so there arn't any cops out. I was on Rt 20, and I was driving pretty fast, passed a car then a truck. When I got down to Rt. 52 I started up a hill going 75 MPH and I tried to pass this stupid car but I couldn't get up to him in time before the lines stopped me from passing him. I was behind this guy going 55 which is slow to me because I usually fly around this West Virginian Curvy Road flying 65 to 75.. I get up to a passing zone and I gun it.. flash my high beams to let him know I am passing him... he must of thought I was racing him because he guns it as I am passing him. I can't slide over because he is behind me but not behind the tailgate of my truck. Well we are flying about 85 or 90 on this straight streatch and a small hill comes up, its not one to jump but I couldn't see anything on the other side. As I get up to this hill a freaking truck comes out of no where on my side of the road.. I slam on my breaks jerk the wheel to the right then jerk it back to the left. I come 3 inches from slamming into a Truck going 55 my way and me going 85 or 90 his way.. came about 2 inches from getting my backend clipped from the idiot behind me. I am all over the road and I finally get it back undercontrol still going 75.. so I gun it some more.. and get home as fast as I could just incase the truck was a off duty pig.

Last friday I was coming home and I saw that idiot who wouldn't let me pass him and I floored it and tried to pass him again.. but he pissed me off yet again.. he wouldn't let me pass him so I stayed on his ass flying 85 around these curves that are suggested for 50 and below.. I am in a Dodge Dakota.. so thats a lil hard to keep on the road.. going that fast.. My engine started messing up because my oil pressure gauge fell to 0 and I couldn't stay on his ass... but Jesus if I see him again I am ramming him.. or just turning my head lights off and passing him in secret!! Then scare the crap out of him...

I was scared and typing it gives me the jitters.. so I don't pass people on them roads anymore unless I got enough space.. But for anyone who plays or played NFS U I pulled off a Near Missx2 which makes it funny... If anyone lives near me and wants an addrinaline rush.. just ride with me once.. you won't ever do it again!!

stories of people hurting themselves while attempting incredibly foolish things.

Very good stories,

Thank you : rain1138 , TheCrymsonLegends

I was with some batteries on my hands once and for some reason I dropped one of them. For instinct I tried to stop it with my foot but didn't realize I was too close from my bed so I kicked it so hard and hit the bed.
In result, a lot of pain, lost a toenail, a lot of blood and the battery fell down anyway. =P

funny story tanaka
