Ya know, I almost forgot the other really bloody one - when I was in 
college I worked for the PR/publications dept. doing layout and design.  
While laying out the '88 catalog I chopped off the very tip of my left 
index finger with an X-acto knife.  VERY messy, and I ruined two days' 
worth of work.  (I stuck the tip on and covered it with gauze and a 
bandage.  It healed.

That poor finger - it's also the one that got shattered last may... (I 
know Bill is reading this, cringing, and saying, "Ow, ugh!  I hate 
finger stuff!")
