I was cleaning (or trying to) a chain saw chain by holding it against a wire brush in a bench grinder. The brush grabbed he chain and whipped it around, taking bites out of my hand and requiring a visit to the ER. Talk about stupid. Don't try this at home.

Injured while asleep in bed; that just isn't fair!
But the chainsaw blade story... WOW. Ron, you're lucky something really bad didn't happen.

I've just ruined my good clothes with ammonia solution , but after you guys told your tales I'm proud to go around town with my bleached spots.
