For jackass (the show), they should make them wear a dog trainer collar around their neck and have someone turn it up to 7 and lay on the continuous button on the remote. We've used these for sled dogs (the most stubborn dogs in the world) and let me tell you. A 7 kV pulse to the neck feels like an icepick on the end of a sawzall.

Papercuts to the eye are serious. My brother had his cornea scratched years ago when he was on a bus standing and the bus made a sudden stop. He was holding a grocery bag (the old brown paper type with serrated edges) and it went across his eye. The injury took 6 months to fully heal. You only get one set of eyeballs! Take care of them!

It happens more often than people think. Happened to my brother once. He was turning the page with his face too close, and the corner of the paper grazed his eye.

Went to the doctor, they washed it and examined it, and gave him a patch to wear for 8-12 hours. It was minor, and missed the cornea.

No, it's a big circus slide, and just as you get going it changes to Cutco blades. Better yet, make it one of those waterpark slides that's 6 stories tall. And you fall into a giant crucible filled with molten steel.

You know, I've never really thought about it. But now that you mention it, I should go give it a try. After all, we only live once...

I was always wondering what would happen to an eye if placed on a freezing flag pole, like a tongue.

when ever I had lasik back in feb, the little flap cutter I could feel on my left eye. They put numbing drops in prior to the procedure but for some reason I could still feel it in my left one. It felt like a paper cut.

My buddy actually made a 10 minute movie about this, I'll post it if he still has it up...

Blunt, rusted razors perhaps?

I managed to remove the cornea in one eye once. Took out my contact lens, and the cornea decided to stick to the lens. Nothing like looking at some flabby 'skin' on your eye in the mirror.
The cornea will heal itself in under 24 hours. Mine grew back in about 16 hours.
I was told my eye looked flat instead of round when looking at me from the side.

my daughter was playing with her baby einstein flash cards and ended up scratching her cornea. at the hospital they applied a dye and under a UV light the abrasions were visible.

we applied an ointment in the morning and at night for about a week and it completely healed.
