Wow, and I thought I had serious bad luck with self-inflicted injuries/fluke accidents.
Like the time I worked in the paleo lab at UVic. It involved (thankfully) dilute acid solution in a bucket, into which I had extended a hose to finish filling it. The water ran a might bit too fast, and out launched a single drop from the acidic sludge in the bottom of the bucket, arcing gracefully through the air, sailing a good two or three feet before landing square in my left eye.
And it's true... with enough training, you really DO learn how to find the emergency eyewash station with your eyes closed...
And FYI, I believe I have had no fewer than two eyelid papercuts, if it makes you feel any better.
