George Carlin died yesterday. While I do enjoy his comedy very much, I hadn’t heard much of it before today when I decided to do a YouTube search for it. In any case, my primary point of reference for George Carlin was his role in Thomas the Tank engine. He was simply yet another one of those figureheads from my childhood who I thought would never die, like Mr. Rogers. When Bill Cosby finally kicks the bucket, I’ll be inconsolable.

And speaking of childhood, remember when you were a kid and your mom told you not to play near the fans because they’d chop your fingers off? Well today I got to test this hypothesis. I was moving the small oscillating fan from the dresser, where it sits at night, to the floor in the hallway, where it is much more effective at ventilating during the day. And naturally, I picked it up by the handle on the back of the cage–if you’ve ever seen one of these things, you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, unbeknownst to me, there was a little separation in the cage right by the handle… two of the wires were bent just a bit apart. This next sequence actually occurred in a span of less than half a second, but when I started thinking about it later it seemed so much longer. I had set the fan down on the floor and didn’t like the direction it was pointing, so I picked it back up again. It made a really strange grinding sound so I put it back down. Then I realized that my left ring finger hurt. I looked at it and there was a small blood blister at the base of the nail. I looked closer and realized I was bleeding. The way it’s cut is strange though… my finger still hurts, but it’s not like it hurts from being cut… its more like sore like a bruise. In any case, my finger was only there for like a second, but I registered the strange grinding noise of the fan before I registered any kind of pain. So, while I highly doubt you could get your finger cut off in such a thing, you could definitely mangle it pretty badly.

I was going to vent for a bit here about my boss(es), but meh.. I just don’t feel like it now. Suffice it to say, one is very very VERY ignorant for a nearly 60 year old man, and the other one is ridiculously paranoid.
