Erm.. topic title pretty much says it all.

Got a 92mm tornado fan a while a go. Great little thing, noisy as hell, but puts enough air out to move itself across a desk without a wall to push against.

Goes like the clappers.. only I was using it whilst holding it in my hand, just to cool down my toasty hard drives (hot to touch.. was a bit worried so wanted to cool them a bit).

Didnt hold onto it tight enough when I turned the power on. Flew out of my hand hit the desk, then bounced up and decided to land on my thumb.

Flung a piece of flesh from the top of my thumb into the computer (only a little bit but bloody hell it hurt, and it bled!), and didnt stop there.. it was still rotating with my thumb in it, digging deeper each rotation. thankfully I over came what pain I was experiencing and promptly smashed it into the desk to get it off of my hand. (Still intact just wacked it off of my hand)

Went down stairs and proceeded to play a game of charades with my mum and dad, me moaning in pain, with the thumb in my mouth bleeding couldnt take it out for blood to drip everywhere, and whilst miming "sounds like: can" with my mum saying anything from "cheers" to "cup of tea" (STUPID ARSE! ITS ME MIMING OPENING A CAN OF BLOODY LAGER AND DRINKING IT! ) I finally let them see the bloody mess that was my thumb. "WHAT THE HELL"

At last I was adorned with plasters and other wonderous torture devices in the form of antiseptic wipes (who in gods name made them so painful!)

no mummy refused to touch the thing she just yelled "Look what youve done to the carpet!" from the front room, while my dad managed to sort it out.

lol I would have done it myself, but its fecking hard cutting plasters and opening packets with one hand.

Title sounds like a typical american warning sign

Just looked. oh it looks erg..

No blood now, but basically two wounds have happened..

One is a slice straight into the thumb ( like a knife straight across.. only zigzaggy), where it hit me the first time. the other (worse one) is a slice horizontally across the thumb (slicing the skin like layers of an onion) just above the first cut.

It hurts like hell still.

nah... to be honest the nausea from looking at it now has me worse than the pain. the pain just reminds me of the nausea and im waving my hand around in the air and rocking back and forth in my seat going "nnnnnnggggggg nngggggggg eeeerrrg!"

You have two options, go to the hospital and get it seen to or wait and let them cut it off after its developed gangrene or MRSA. They normally try to reverse a finger to replace it but it wont work the same  

We need piccies!!!

I was going to say no we dont but Im not sure now

lol its not that bad, just looked munting last night, yellow skin flappy bits.

Its not a loss of the tip, its in the top segment of my thumb and its just a chunk thats got gouged out by the fan blade. You can see the repeated hits of the fan blades as I tried pulling it out, not sure if a piccie will show that.

Doesnt hurt that bad anymore, and looks less munting, cleaned it out this morning with TCP.. (I swear its satans piss bottled up and mixed with chilli powder. WTF!!! SO MUCH BLOODY PAIN!) and now its white chunks of skin. Will take a piccie of it when I get home not sure if itll come out well.

and lol @ the vantec stealth. Yeah... Not sure what speed a Tornado goes at, but it makes enough noise to sound like a damn jet taking off.

Ah.. just found. It does 4800rpm.

an image of the culprit.. a big bugger of a finger muncher aye.
