This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have no recollection of the journey to the hospital. My clearest memory is being face down in a hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and nurses. I remember going into an MRI scan and giggling as they removed my nipple piercings. Looking back, it was clear I was in shock. It turns out the blade had gone 7.8cm deep in my back. It had partially severed a nerve in my spinal cord and missed my aorta by about a centimetre.
