Expensive Mistakes
coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"
No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

Yeah, I've heard the story myself a few times, but never found a source. It's probably apocryphal as you said :) The best I've ever done is with a 2p piece - it sticks nicely to the outside of a (200Mhz, much weaker and cheaper than the one above) NMR machine, edge out.
Just had a nasty thought though... most piercings in... intimate places are stainless steel. *RRRRRRIP!* :P
