So, I have this bottle of beer right? It is sitting on a table, a wooden table, and I go to pick it up. This is where the WTF happens. I grab the bottle a little funny and it sorta slips outta my hand less than a quarter inch from the table's surface. When it hits the table it shatters. WTF just happened? Why did it shatter? It was a mostly empty bottle landing on a wooden surface, though it was a Miller High Life bottle (just in case that matters for some reason). I figured it would be okay since I have dropped full bottles from much greater heights then 1/4 inch and still been able to open it and drink the intoxicating contents.
Could it have been a weird vibration from one side of the bottle hitting slightly sooner than the other side? Or could I just have had a really poorly made bottle? Another thing, trying to clean up shattered glass from a long-tuffed carpet is really hard to do without cutting yourself
Bloody fingers! All of them except my thumbs!
Also, a separate WTF moment:
When I used to sell knives I was cutting a piece of leather and the knife slipped and sorta cut my thumb of the other hand. It only sliced off the very tip of the thumb so that wasn't too bad, but why is it that when I was packing up my stuff I found my severed thumb piece attached to the knife with absolutely no blood on it or the knife? Granted, these are really sharp knives and my thumb didn't really start bleeding until after I started looking at it but why did my thumb-piece have no blood on it?
