This is a question DIY disasters

I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.

Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

"Are you trying to loose any weight? in which case I wouldn't get it seen to until it's digested enough calories that you otherwise would have eaten. "
No no NO!

"If a person is already infected with tapeworm, there is the possibility that even minute particles of their faeces - containing the tapeworm eggs - can contaminate their hands, food or utensils. They are then at high risk of swallowing the eggs. In addition, infected people can transfer eggs to others through food preparation or by intimate contact.

Once the eggs are ingested, the tapeworm larvae hatch, penetrate blood vessels and can reach any organ, including muscles, the brain, the eyes and the spinal cord. Eventually, hard cysts form around the larvae. Pressure from the cysts, together with degenerative changes in the tissue around them, can cause headaches, seizures, paralysis, blindness and even death."
