[10:17am] PhotoNut: Damn I'm stupid.
[10:17am] • PhotoNut just chopped part of his thumb off.
[10:18am] nev: I'd quote that but it's a bit too gruesome.
[10:18am] jedediah: uh oh
[10:18am] jedediah: How much of it?
[10:18am] nev: Which thumb?
[10:18am] nev: And what part?
[10:18am] PhotoNut: about .75 cubic cm off my left thumb.
[10:19am] PhotoNut: blood everywhere
[10:19am] nev: And you are taking the time to type this to us?
[10:19am] nev: Getting blood all over your keyboard?
[10:19am] PhotoNut: this happened ~15min ago
[10:19am] nev: And just what were you doing to dismember yourself?
[10:19am] PhotoNut: I am just back to my desk now.
[10:19am] nev: Did they give you any morphine?
[10:19am] nev: If not, try again.
[10:19am] nev:
[10:20am] PhotoNut: case fan + finger = ouch
[10:20am] nev: Case fan?!?
[10:20am] PhotoNut: aye
[10:20am] nev: I didn't think they were that dangerous.
[10:20am] nev: Was it turned on?
[10:20am] PhotoNut: yes
[10:20am] nev: And you stuck your finger into it?
[10:20am] nev: !?!?
[10:20am] PhotoNut: well...yes.
[10:20am] • nev gets the "gratuitous use of the interrobang" award.
[10:20am] PhotoNut: that was not my intent, but that was the end result
[10:21am] nev: And why was the machine not turned off whilst you fiddled with it?
[10:21am] PhotoNut: it is a server.
[10:21am] PhotoNut: it was getting abnormally hot
[10:21am] nev: O_o
[10:21am] dowaito: nev: Interogbang is typed as '?!'
[10:22am] PhotoNut: so I wanted to look at it...make sure the fans were working...
[10:22am] nev: So instead of turning it off and investigating you opened it up and poured blood into it?
[10:22am] PhotoNut: basically
[10:22am] • nev reviews PhotoNut's first statement . . .
[10:22am] PhotoNut: I quote myself: " Damn I'm stupid."
[10:22am] nev: I think I'll have to agree.
[10:22am] dowaito: Is blood a good coolane?
[10:22am] dowaito: s/lane/lant/
[10:22am] nev: dowaito: Probably not.
[10:22am] nev: Won't it cooagulate?
[10:22am] nev: s/coo/co/
[10:22am] dowaito: oh, yeah.
[10:23am] dowaito: and quickly, under those circumstances.
[10:23am] nev: PhotoNut: Did you get blood IN the server?
[10:23am] nev: dowaito: Actually, in that case it'll just "boil" out.
[10:23am] PhotoNut: nev: no
[10:23am] nev: Whew!
[10:23am] nev: Where did you get the blood then?
[10:24am] nev: And I'm guessing it's the tip of your thumb that is missing . . .
[10:24am] PhotoNut: on my right hand
[10:24am] nev: Did it get any of the nail?
[10:24am] PhotoNut: it stopped at the nail
[10:24am] PhotoNut: I'll have a black/blue nail, I'm sure.
[10:24am] nev: So "blood everywhere" means it leaked down your hand, not spurted across the room?
[10:25am] PhotoNut: well, it leaked down my left hand and spurted onto my right hand as it tried to catch it all to not make a mess.
[10:25am] nev: Hm. Better luck next time.
[10:25am] nev: You'll get time off if you can get the blood everywhere.
[10:25am] PhotoNut: my right hand pretty much clamped down on my left thumb as I ran to the bathroom.
[10:25am] nev: Well . . . you have my sympathy.
