Hint #1: Attempt to stay awake. Hint #2: Learn about tape stitches, and how to apply them with the still functional hand. Hint #3: See hint #1 Actually, any tool that's capable of hurting you will, eventually, if you live long enough. The trick is to keep injuries minimal and minor, and not have the big number come up on the wheel until you're safely long dead. Good trick when it works out. It's like allergies. Everyone is violently allergic to something. It's just that those who react to Mammoth wool and Pterosaur dander aren't particularly bothered by it. Timing... it's all in the timing... Ron N
