No no no...that won't cut it. I posted my story to coax some war stories out of you. Get to typing...I wanna hear some gruesome injury stuff...
I broke my nose when a ground ball took a bad hop in warm ups.

Still played most of the game and went 1 for 3 with blood gushing out my nose and running down the back of my throat the entire game.

Luckily nothing too gruesome happened to me. On one play in a scrimmage my second year the DE got his head down on my bicep when he was bull rushing and popped my shoulder out of socket. At the same time the guard next to me got a stinger. When we watched the film it looked like a sniper had taken us both out. Pretty funny looking back on it. I just had my shoulder ripped out of the socket while going for a rebound in my rec league bball game last monday so I'm a little pissed at the doctor who "fixed" it.

The most gruesome thing I've ever seen on the football field while I was playing happened during the spring game before my senior year. We were running the ball and I fired out and was blocking my guy. I heard a scream come from the other side of the line so I thought somebody got hurt. After the play I look to see if everyone is ok. My RT is sitting on the ground with his leg going straight and his foot laying to the side. Kind of like the LB from "The Program". The trainers didn't know anything was wrong so I had to go over to the sideline and tell them the poor bastards leg was broken. When we watched the film the DE came around the outside and dove for the RB. The RB swung him around so that he landed right on the back of the RT's legs. You could see his foot flopping as he fell down.
My biggest fear was that I would get rolled up like that and lose a knee or a leg. I was pretty good at keeping an eye out for myself and try to get out of the way if I saw something coming. In a game against Purdue I saw a guy diving into my ankle out of the corner of my eye. I was able to get my foot off the ground just in time so when he hit it it just knocked me down. If I hadn't I would have lost an ankle for sure.

Per some site I googled:

Ranges from only a trace to about 7%. Some species have very little lactose in milk, such as the bear and kangaroo. These must have some other osmole in order to maintain milk in osmotic balance with blood plasma as milk is being synthesized. These species often have another sugar (for example the kangaroo has a trisaccharide) as the major osmole.

Nice one Hawg...

We had a gruesome one this year when the scout team TB got drilled and was lying on the ground...I picked him up by the back of his pads and everything came off the ground but half of his forearm. That sucker was bending like a second elbow. The kid saw it and went berserk.

Nastiest break I ever witnessed.

and more....

The worlds strongest beer is 'Samuel Adams' Triple Bock, which has reached 17% alcohol by volume. To obtain this level, however, they had to use a champagne yeast.

Modern breathalyzers work on a clever electrochemical principle. The subject's breath is passed over a platinum electrode, which causes the alcohol to bind with oxygen, forming acetic acid. In the process it loses two electrons, a process that sets up a current in a wire connected to the electrode. The higher the concentration of alcohol in the breath, the greater the electrical current, which can be read by a simple meter to indicate intoxication levels

Beer, as all alcoholic drinks, is made by fermentation caused by bacteria feeding on the yeast cells, then defecating. This bacterial excrement is called alcohol.

The saying 'Mind your P's and Q's' comes from the time when alcoholic beverages were served/sold in Pints and Quarts. Thus, to mind your P's and Q's meant to be careful how much you drank.


A female orgasm is a powerfull painkiller (because of the release of endorfines), so headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex.
