Carnage

To my leg that is...

Who said the Salt Water hobby wasn't dangerous, haha.

I was almost done installing my new pump and I was cutting a peice of vinyl hose with a razerblade, slipped and hacked my leg open. This was caused by complete stupidity on my part, I was too lazy to get my PVC cutter:chair:

It doesn't look too big, buy it was freakin' deep. Instead of stitches, the doctor tried some glue instead which worked out well.

And of course, a pic.

Haha, no doubt. First someone is in for coral toxins, then your daughter in for superglue, then me for slicing and dicing my leg.

Whats next???? Hopefully nothing.
