Holy Shit Story.

[EndGame]

not my story but i was reading the dakka forums on model building mishaps and found this gem.

"I have a super-glue horror story, and this is a warning to all of you with contacts: do not wear them while working with super-glue. I was building my blood angels, I used to work in my basement, hunched over a little white desk. If i remember correctly, I started building at around 6 and by the time i was done it was 11pm or so. In five hours I cleaned and glued together an assault squad and two tactical squads, I work slow, I know. I was only 14 or so at the time, and I had just started wearing contacts. It was time for me to go to bed, and this was when I discovered my problem. Later in life, when I was in college, I discovered what had happened. Apparently Super Glue fumes are an organic solvent, and something that apparently will dissolve plastics. When the fumes evaporate off of the melted plastic, the plastic hardens again. With plastic based contacts this means that your contacts will adhere to your eyes, although amazingly, without any noticeable depreciation of function, however to get them off you need to have them surgically removed. At the age of 14 all I knew is that my contacts were stuck to my eyes, and no matter what I did, I could not get them out. It took a painful surgery where I watched as they cut the contacts off of my eyes, not a pleasant experience."


This one particularly hits home since i'm planning on getting contacts soon and was not aware in the least that something like this could happen. (The fact that he's working on blood angels as well doesn't help)

Hardcore. I bet they still play too. That's devotion. I think the Blood God one is pretty hardcore as well.
