Other people will dump a knife into soapy water to soak it, then reach in blindly. I can't make myself do that, and I don't know how they can. Other people will cut things into their palm, knowing they won't cut too deep. I refuse to do that as well.


I have two Victorinox chefs knives that
are sharp as scalpels. They are the most
used knives in the industry. They scare
me to death, I treat them with utmost
respect. I never wash them, I wipe them
clean and put them back in the sheath.
They could cut half an inch deep in
a trice..

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Great knives, I have three of them (8", 10", and a Granton edge slicer). All the money went where it counts. They are every bit as good as my Global G2s.

The guy with the oxygen tank in the MRI room, he was taking the tank to his ailing father and asked repeatedly to make sure the machine was off, and was told by the MRI attendant something along the lines of, "What, don't you think I know my job?"

So, Darwin Award, but maybe not for the poor victim and his family.

next. Dang thing is a weapon..

Here it is:

I use the 8" the most, but the 10" has its place with things like carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. The thicker stuff.

And, oh man. That cleaver is awesome!

I'd blame the people running the MRI. An oxygen tank is no small thing. You shouldn't be able to just go into the room anyway without someone screening them.

Or they should have installed a door when it was built if it's just walk in.

Anything that can become dangerous through the air just by turning it on has no business not being in a closed room with someone monitoring it while it is unlocked.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

When I had MRI in the past I had to have my eyes Xrayed to make sure I didn't have a shard of steel in there. Kinda creepy the idea of a splinter of steel coming flying out of your eye.

Oh, I just remembered, the inventor of the MRI is (or was) a young earth creationist christian. Thank God.

Is the machine OFF (so that I may safely take this metal oxygen tank there?)
Is the machine OFF (so that my father is not getting any treatment, you incompetent jerk?)

Attendant replied to the 2nd version but son had asked the 1st version.
