What don't we know?

Ok, time for another old thread revival. Post something others here might not know about you.

I'll go first.

Just before my first day of school, I tripped over while running down a steep gravel driveway and slid along on my nose. Like my dad said at the time, I used my nose as a brake pad, and as you'd expect, after sliding along on gravel, there wasn't much left of my nose - what most people don't seem to realise is that there is no bone inside your nose, just gristle.

Here are some pictures:
Before (admittedly a few years earlier):
Before nosebrake(tm)

While healing:
Nosebrake(tm) healing
Nosebrake(tm) still healing

Afterwards (note the shape and size of my nose):
Who needs to pay for a nose job? :p

Ok...
When I was 11 I had a few friends around home while mum was out, 16 of them in fact, we were letting off fireworks in the house. I shot off to take a leak and could hear doors & windows slamming and thought wtf?
As I came out the toilet, mum was standing there with the jug cord in one hand & the vacuum pipe in the other and well...you get the picture!

I have a inch or so long burn on my right arm from last year (well...2003) when I tripped and landed on a soldering iron :(

umm, just to keep with the injuries bit, When I was 3 I fell head first out of a landcruiser (stationary). Apparently, I didnt cry at all but left one hell of a big dint in the dirt?!?!

I wonder why they call me boof head after that??

No serious injuries to post though...

I was in my mid teens (can't remember much, accidents do that) and came off the back of a motor bike that the driver (long gone ex) lost control of on a dirt road out the back of Mollyulla, vic.

I sailed over the top of him, skidded (apparently) about thirty feet along the rocky, gravel road, crashed into an embankment, and my poor dad had to drive three hours to collect me from Benalla hospital that nite. I then spent xmas eve at FTG hospital having more x-rays, only to find I had a badly fractured skull.

That was a crappy xmas... :(

Well I'll be saving those photos for future reference!

I wonder if anyone has my (in)famous pink bike photo I posted in the DM forum back on FF.

When I was 14, I hit a six in cricket (school yard) and was running looking at the ball and crashed into my partner. I broke my collarbone and I hurt his ribs pretty bad but I still got to play wicketkeeper a couple of weeks afterwoods.
