I almost sliced my finger off

Ah, I forgot to mention that I sliced my finger open last night as well. About a 1/2 inch of skin about 4 mm thick is hanging off my middle finger. I was doing the damned dishes and washing a pot top. There was a metal ring that wasn't pressed firmly against the glass and with one swish, it cut cleanly through. It didn't hurt (I usually interpret that as bad since papercuts feel so painful) and it bled for a good 15 minutes. I took a picture of it, but it came out all blurry. I apologize--it looked gnarly. Instead, I will post a picture of my friend's head with 3 staples in it. He fell off his chair backwards last week and hit his head on the corner of a table. It turned his bleach blonde hair red. Ha! Ha! Oh, that's not funny.
