are you sure you didnt just burn some skin with hair on it?

2/18/2010 6:16:38 PM

yes, i just touched the element of my stove with the topside of my thumb knuckle, which is hairless

of course, i just had the broiler on. shit was white when i pulled it out. oh well, at least it burnt some nerve endings since it doesnt hurt yet

Actually, when I had laser surgery done on my tongue (while conscious, so I was able to smell the smoke) I thought it had a significantly sweeter burning smell than the time some idiot on a camping trip either threw some of their hair into the fire or caught their hair on fire.

burning hair smells pretty bad



but one day in the ER, they brought in a guy who worked for NOVEC and had taken a gigantic jolt through his hands. He was basically DOA, but they were trying their damndest to get him to live. He had three little girls and a wife in the waiting room, so it's not a great situation.

I specifically remember the doctor looking at me to get his belongings off of him and get 'em in a bag for the family. When I took off his right boot, I smelled the worst scent that I've ever in my life encountered. When I took off the sock, his foot looked like hamburger meat that had been slightly browned.

It's where the electricity left his body. Right through the toes. He didn't make it.


But yeah. Burning skin? Way worse than burning hair.

to be fair, it sounds like it was a little bit more than some burned skin in your story

mayhaps.


electrified flesh, then, i guess.


either way, on with the thread!

but does it smell worse than bigfoots dick?

2/18/2010 6:39:31 PM

ahahahahahahahaha

why would your stove element be white hot because you have the broiler on

sounds like a fire hazard.
