Dumbest thing you've ever done to yourself?
Kangum:
was pretty wasted after work one night. went to take a swig of beer and totally missed my mouth. smacked myself in the teeth with the beer bottle. cracked my front tooth in half. coordination was more then a little off that night. i still cant believe it happened. i must have tried to take a sip at warp speed to break it.

How were those treated? I have "floaters" right now, but from all the research I've done, there is nothing that can be done about them.

Floaters occur when material such as blood cells, fluid, etc. is moving through the vitreous in your eye. (Was at the eye doctor a few weeks ago and read up on this stuff). They usually appear if a blood vessel starts leaking in your eye, or if you get some sudden head trauma and some cellular material detaches from your eye wall, you'll see the floaters.
Back on to dumb things. Earlier this month I decided to pre-plan a payment on my Visa card so that I wouldn't forget. I scheduled the payment online and forgot about it. A few days ago, when I got my paycheck, I went and foolishly made another big payment on my card. Oops! I looked at my bank account today and nearly ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- my pants when I saw how low it was. I saw two payments to the credit card company and realized what I had done. I immediately called the credit card company and they said "You have a balance of negative something something." They wouldn't refuse the payment, or send it back to my bank account. All they could do was write me a check for the difference and I'd get it in 4-5 weeks. :angry:

This isn't something I did, but the fireworks story reminded me of it. I was up at my in-law's cabin in Island Park, just outside Yellowstone. We went to a professional 4th of July fireworks show that they have on the golf course up there every year (used to have, anyway :) ) I remember being really surprised they would do a fireworks show in the middle of a forest, but whatever. Anyway, we're sitting there in our lawn chairs and such when the show starts. A firework shoots up and explodes. Pretty. One or two more. Nice. Then something really strange happened. The next explosion wasn't shaped like a circle. It was a perfect half-circle . . . AT GROUND LEVEL ;D . Immediately I said, "I don't think it was supposed to do that." About the time that I said, ". . . that," every other firework set to be exploded that night, exploded. On the ground. At the same time. It was ---smurfing--- amazing. Seriously. ---smurfing---. Amazing. I can't begin to describe how spectacular it was.
Once it was over there were a couple of trees engulfed in flames. Luckily, and surprisingly, nobody was seriously injured. Minor burns only.
