Today I learned that a dislocated fingertip feels pretty much exactly like you'd expect.

I'd like to learn what the :mikey: icon means.

I dunno about intended meanings, but I always use icons by their appearence, not by their title.

So when I use :mikey:, it's kind of like that "HHNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!" people do when they're freaked out but not panicking.

Alternately, it illustrates what dislocating your fingertip feels like.

In case anyone is wondering, think of how it feels when you get hit in the nuts. Now imagine that in your hand. Now imagine having that pain any time you touch, move, or do just about anything with a finger that's swollen up to almost twice its normal size. That's pretty much what having a dislocated fingertip is like.

Tying my shoes this morning was an adventure.

How does one exactly manage to dislocate a fingertip?  A car door?  A normal door?  Dropping something heavy on it?

I was at work, trying to apprehend a shoplifter. He tried to run, I tried to stop him, and we ended up wrestling across the parking lot. He got away from me a couple of times, and I would've let him go, but a customer got involved, so I had to grab him again. Somewhere in the melee, my fingertip got dislocated, and I fell on my walkie, so I have a nice deep tissue bruise on my left lower back too.

At least you did it while foightin' instead of something stupid like lifting a TV or fingerbanging your sister.

Quote from: Büge, Classic, et al=1257971646
Stuff likening art, computer science, physics, etc. to classes.

Just wanted to point out that, in physics and maths, creating (well, discovering) doesn't come until you've attained a certain mastery (not to be confused with a masters degree, I'm talking doctorate/what you do to get a doctorate here; even unto post doctoral studies); all the other things, you have the opportunity and ability to get your hands dirty and create almost right away.

So... physics and maths map to classes that are total shit until late levels, I guess.

Well, when you roll a class with high INT, you generally don't see the rewards until late game.

So it turns out my finger wasn't just dislocated, it was also broken.  ::(:

Also, my side wasn't just bruised. I cracked a rib.  ::(: ::(:

That the Farsi (i.e. Persian) word for 'westerner' sounds almost exactly like 'Ferengi'. :wat:

That covering a cats head with a towel will calm them down enough that they won't go ballistic when trimming nails.
