<font color=pink>On a scale of 1 to 10, if you please :D

About 45 minutes ago, i was digging through my drawers searching for some lost eye shadow...what i found instead was a fire cracker, score!

So i grabbed my lighter and headed out my door to the balcony, so i could fire it. Holding the lighter firmly in my left hand, i ignited the string, half a second later it exploded like a gunshot...right in my hand *slaps forhead*

The result was my lighter getting knocked out of my lef hand about 10 feet away...a slice in my right thumb that goes down for about 1/10 of an inch, and a nasty blood blister in my right middle finger, not t mention this absurd ringing in my ears that won't go away...

I give myself a 9...the only thing stupider then that is stickng scissors in a electrical socket(which i havnt done yet...)</font?

Not as dumb as me sticking in a *metal* implement into the socket end of a power cable for a portable tape recorder - when it was plugged into a live wall socket at the other end!!

Fortunately I only got a mild shock (otherwise I wouldn't be posting this now, would I? [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Please note that on the side of the firecracker it says "Light Fuse and GET AWAY FAST". It also says "Use only under adult supervision."

Well, I've done some pretty stupid things in my life - blowing my hand up with a firecracker however is not one of them... the light socket thing I did when I was a kid and I once had a tree fall on me (not a small one either) when I stood in the exact spot that my dad told me not to stand but to answer your question I'd give you an 8 - 9 being harmful to others and 10 causing serious injury or even death :D

<font color=pink> :D I should dye my hair blonde instead of red :D </font>

It could've been worse, you coulve tightened your hand around it before lighting it O_o then you would be typing one handed...
