Worst thing I ever did was dead-lift a HP LaserJet II from the
front passenger seat to the back seat of my '87 Firebird.

Felt fine at the time - but woke up the next morning and I couldnt
walk.

Then, there's the time (about five months ago) that I was helping a
(now-ex) coworker "rackmount" an E450.  That night, had some "burning"
sensations in my wrists.  The next morning, it was bad enuf that I went
to the emergency room.  Doctor said "you've pulled the tendons in both
wrists".  I had to wear wrist braces for a week.  SUCKED to type with
them on.  Work wont let me do big lifting anymore; they're scared that
I'll pull a disability lawsuit on them. 

That's fine, someone else can rackmount stuff.  8-)
