Stupidest injury: in high school, at my friend's LAN party, I was walking by my PC tower when the side of the case popped open, and the top corner (all metal back then) cut the front of my lower leg, 3 inches long at least. Bled for quite a while and still have a scar from it.
I was helping my then three-year-old brush his teeth while standing above him so he could see in the mirror, and he jumped and basically uppercutted me in the chin so hard with his head that I got an honest to god concussion.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

My subscription auto-renews in February, after the price hike. And y'know what? Absolutely fine paying the higher rate, it's worth it.
But if you can lock it in now, do so, and support the awesome analysis and fun pieces the BP team puts out!

BP is raising its price. The goal is to do it once and be done with it. The change goes into effect on January 1.
Until then, it's just $46 for a year.

Satchel Paige once intentionally walked 2 hitters so he could to face Josh Gibson with the Bases Loaded.
Just so Satchel could prove who was the Best, 1 on 1. 🤣

FINALLY GOT IT!
I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000.
Over 20,000 the past month alone.
Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away"
In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare:
Fish success story.
