"This is my first substantive injury"

****, all you pollytubbies need to go outside and exercise damnit. Go get hurt, it builds character. I've broken sprained cut dislocate etc etc tons of stuff.... and you know what. I'm proud of it.

BTW Asher, mess up your ankle 10 more times and it won't even hurt anymore when you do it Also, since this is your first ankle injury, I think you'll be happy to know that the top of your ankle is NEVER going to look the same. The swelling never goes away completely, hehe.

Yeah, but it was just a sprained ankle, not a real injury.

eh? how exactly does benzene stabilize a halogen substitution ( in alkanes, I presume)?

That's what I was thinking...is he referring to the Friedel Crafts reaction?

That's a bizzare choice of wording, then. benzene doesn't stabilize anything in Friedel Crafts, it's the reactant. I was thinking he was referring to the benzene as solvent, but the wording's really blurry.

i think you should be throwing the thumbs down at uncoordinated people, not at sports Also, you shouldn't let a little thing like a sprained ankle slow you down. if i don't get anything worse than that on a sports outing, i feel like i wasn't doing something right

Asher, I'm disappointed. You are young, male, creative, and virile (assumption upon the latter). Instead of being amazed by the instant icey thing, you should see it's potential!

I had my first work related injury yesterday. I was lifting a large number of magazines, and as i stood up, there was a not so pleasant feeling of pain in my back. But I ignored it and went back to work. Eventually, it got to the point where I couldn't bend down properly, so I decided to go home.

When I told my manager that the injury occurred at work she was like, "OMG YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TELL US IMMEDIATELY WORKER'S COMP FILL OUT PAPERWORK AND GO HOME IMMEDIATELY."

It was silly. I was amused. My back hurt. I wasn't going to sue them.

Also, I've gotten stitches for, that's right, running into a door.

You should get your back examined because something bad can happen.

That's not so bad.

I saw somebody ran through a door. A glass one.

I'd have been more impressed, if it was a wooden door. Or even metal.

Bah. Not some life long niggling injury. I've hurt my back before.

Running through a door. Wow.

He was in some serious pain, and needed numerous stitches to patch the wounds.

It wasn't as silly as another time, when some totally stoned student thought he was an electron and tried to "tunnel" through a pane of glass (with wire mesh), head first.
