Near Death ExperiencesLast time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

Working onXybex's experience I was changing the bulb in the stockroom at a part time job some years back. The socket in question hadn't had a bulb in it since I'd worked there, and it was a dark corner so I figured it needed a little illumination. It went somthing thus:-
Stand on metal step ladder in order to reach light socket.
Push bulb in.
Entire world goes dark.
Eeep.
At this point I realise that as the socket is evidently faulty I have blown the power and there's no natural light in the room. I somehow find my way out of darkness into relative tranquility of daylight, through a maze of precariously staked shelves of shoe boxes away, when cue angry response from ten other shops on same side as high street.
