Newspapers Are Dangerous

At least, those stand things you open and pull the newspaper out of are.

This morning, I was trying to get the free morning paper to read on the train ride to school. The thing I mentioned above was made of metal here, and I was also carrying a heavy textbook that I had to return today. I open the thing, but because of my textbook it kind of slips and injures me right under the nail of my middle finger and on the joint just beneath it.

Luckily, I had a bandaid with me and covered it up, but the bandaid prevented me from making a fist with that hand. I couldn't punch people (if I needed to, that is) for the whole day with that hand. ;_; Finger's looking fine now, though.

However, can I trust the newspaper anymore? ;_;

I've rarely seen those made out of metal... all the ones around here are a yellow plastic/green plastic...

Here's a useless piece of trivia for you - in the past, violence was a rather big problem at soccer matches in England, and staff would confiscate anything that could be used as a weapon. So all the hooligans used to bring seemingly harmless newspapers to matches so they could fold them up and create a (suprisingly heavy) brick to use as a weapon.

 

So yeah, they're pretty dangerous. :P
