Speaking about falling on your face and other such injuries:
I was talking to mofaha yesterday, and I turned around and walked straight into the doorframe. I have a bump/bruise on my head now. Also, it made a hollow noise. =/

My mum did the worst one.
She stood up really fast behind the fireplace, and where we lived at the time, the wood burner was in this hollow with a metal bar at the top, the kind of metal girder you'd see dangling from a building in progress, but smaller.
She scraped across the top of her head, stood there for a split second and burst out crying.
Can you imagine how painful that was!?
She was walking funny for days.
My stepdad always walked into doorframes in that house. He ducked one, and walked straight into the next once. Then into the door.
From then on I put a picture of a duck above the door.
That usually distracted people sufficiently to make them bump their heads, though.

I tried for ages to work out how to make this 'gradiated noise' effect and I just couldn't figure it out, so I went onto the Adobe user forums and asked around.
Once they'd made sure they'd let me know what a lame n00b I was, someone actually came up with a solution which worked, and I posted a few on here.
Then a bunch of people pointed out that it looks exactly like an old Apple application's images (can't remember which one). And of course that's because it's a primitive technique, reducing gradients to 2-colour bitmaps, which I really should have figured out myself.
I notice people have been doing a related thing using paint recently, which creates lovely jaggy lines.

If you want fast, genuine responses, you need to say something like
"GIMP is so much better that photoshop because you can do the gradiated noise technique so easily. It takes hours to achieve the same effect in photoshop".
Minutes later, you have ten people trying to prove how wrong you are.
"LISTEN RETARD, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IN PHOTOSHOP IS....."
And it's like the 'bitbox' application on the old mac classic (it was part of a program called world builder, which I used to use to make crappy role-playing games). I'm sure there are other things it is like, but that's the one that always springs to mind.

I do not eat crated veal or Fois Gras because I personally would not be willing to force feed a goose or keep a calf in a box, but the sort of person who bleats about shooting a rabbit, but eats factory farmed chickens pisses me off.
I had a woman run in front of me when I was about to shoot a partridge once. When I questioned her about the fact that she ate chicken she said 'yes, but I don't kill them myself'.
Stupid cow.

When mum got the chicken for christmas dinner, she was there when it was killed. She's also shot her own pheasants, and my stepbrother gets the rabbit.
The chicken was HUGE.
It was turky-sized! AND we had pheasant & bacon too!

i'd happily eat a pheasant, grouse or other fowl if i'd shot it, even deer (never been hunting, but enjoyed clay shooting enough to be willing to give it a shot and know i'd have a chance of gaining a meal from it)
but with pigs, cows and sheep i'd rather leave it to the experts.

If you eat more than the average amount of said crops, you are responsible for more than the average amount of deaths of said animals.
