Which one you want me to tell about :biggrin:

this one wasnt really death, but coulda been REAL bad...
crossing an intersection (car), had the green light, next to me, a guy was making a left turn...for some reason, i was driving a tad slow--perhaps 5-8mph under the speedlimit...well, someone came barreling through the intersection at what musta been 40-50mph, and sped infront of me, missing me by no more than 5-6 feet.....the whole world seemed to slow down...saw him hit the car that was turning....shattered glass everywhere, and then the car was gone....not sure about casualties, but i think noone was badly hurt...
HOWEVER, that may be because the car that was making the turn got hit in the rear, passengerside area...if it were me, in my tiny civic, things mighta been much worse....

I have also been electrocuted by a television (was hooking up a coax site adapter), and for some reason, though the tv was off, the coax cable still had enough current to cause my arm to convulse pretty badly...glad there wasnt more current...

Ive also almost killed myself in MANY ways while skiing...but its always worth it...heres a quick pic of me skiing, if you care....
