If it's something that's gonna require stitches, it's best to leave it in.

It will slow, if not outright stop the bleeding, and will help prevent infection. (Keeping it in means you don't have a gaping hole open to the elements.)

Given that the average intelligence in this thread is easily 2x the intelligence of the average prankster, and goons are dumb as poo poo, odds are its flour.

:wtc:Yeah, a flat nail with two jagged edges, just yank that poo poo right on out it's not like the sole of the human foot is a rube goldberg-esque shitshow of vestigial yet still distinct muscles layered with a crazy quilt of tendons, serious nerve junctions, and significant bloodflow. If you had this happen and it was a matter of life or death that you continue to be able move, obviously you should take it out and try to bandage it as well as you can, but if there's any way you can get to medical help you really, really should.

You don't need a flame to set off a dust explosion. A spark is enough to ignite it or something like, say, a heating element.

aren't you suppose to use flour for grease fires? Since water makes it go woosh?

NM I googled it and you are definitely not suppose to put flour on a grease fire. Glad I have never had a grease fire.

sucks to be right
A 15 year old sprinter just won the Stawell Gift, one of the oldest and most famous annual racing events in Australia. She actually beat her previous personal best by almost a second so the race organisers fined her $2000.

quote:

"When she got here, she ran seven metres quicker than in Ararat which is more than most runners improve in a lifetime," Marantelli said.

"In our sport that is called improvement of extreme range. Extreme range stops at four metres so she was well off the chart for improvement in a short space of time."

Marantelli said Martin's father and coach, Peter O'Dwyer, admitted Martin had done the wrong thing and appealed the severity of the $2000 fine but not the verdict. The appeals panel reduced the fine from $2000 to $500 but also imposed a fine of the first $1500 of any prizemoney she might win.
http://www.theage.com.au/sport/athletics/stawell-gift-2016-isaac-dunmall-and-talia-martin-win-gift-20160328-gnscxr

Sports is fuckin' weird, man.


(Technical explanation: the runners at the Stawell Gift are given a handicap based on their previous personal best times. Talia was given a 13m handicap but it now seems that she and her coach deliberately gimped her previous race times and she should have only been given an 8m handicap. There's a $40,000 prize for winning and there was also heavy betting on the race so now there's a whole bunch of articles in the papers about how this 15 year old kid is a scheming mastermind who brought Australia's most prestigious foot race into disrepute.)

Wow, holy poo poo. I have explained that term incorrectly to many people over the last several years, somehow having come to believe it applied broadly to basically everything instead of computer-generated poo poo. I frequently wake up from dreams with the same sort of unease associated with the actual phenomenon so I guess I just assumed many people have the same thing, at least occasionally.

I guess the schadenfreude is me, and I refuse to give it up so one of you is going to have to kill me in order to get it, next time you gently caress something up. I'll be waiting.

It's not just computer-generated stuff - dolls, for example, or ventriloquist dummies, can easily be subject to it - but it is pretty much specific to imitations of the human form.
