Painful Obscure Physics Magic
Posted: 19 Aug 2008, 05:16
Today, after spending quite a bit of time walking with my wife and daughter around town and returning home I found that my toe hurt, a cursory inspection indicated no observable damage and it was only noticeable when I stepped on it a certain way so I forgot about it until just a few minutes ago. I inspected the toe closely and found that an EYELASH had somehow embedded itself under a few layers of skin to a length of several millimeters as one would expect of a wood splinter. After removing it I tested it's flexibility and it was in fact pliable as one would expect a hair to be.
I guess I'm just lucky... my friend's home was struck by lightning today destroying 2 televisions, 2 monitors, a PVR, satellite receiver, the wiring to a good part of his home, computer power supply and backup hard drive... causing a blackout in his neighborhood but, oddly enough, not to his home.
