Scars with historyYou've all got scars: they're nature's little reminders not to be so damned stupid next time. My favourite is the 1/4" round hole in the back of my right hand, created when I was 7 by my best friend putting a manure-covered gardening fork "away".
Tell us the stories behind your scars. With photos if possible.

Scars? I'll give you scars!I used to have a teenage obsession with things that go bang.
Frustrated at the lack of explosives available over the counter to teenagers, we set about making our own. Following experiments with match-heads, we finally settled on the fertiliser/caster sugar mix favoured by Irish terrorists and set about blowing things up in some local woods.
So... I am scarred up both arms from red-hot shrapnel (mostly the fault of my brother who threw one of the "devices" at me), with an impressive slash across the wrist caused by the barbed wire which barred our escape from the law.
I tell people I got this last one from listening to Joy Division.
