Natural Selection?

so... i almost gutted myself this morning...

i had cut up an apple and was trying to cut out the seeds. Naturally, i was using a HUGE knife and thought it best to cut the apple towards me (while chatting about something that was very important, i'm sure!) . The knife slid & and the blade stopped about 1cm short of my stomach. Doug almost passed out.

I'm shopping on cooking.com right now for an apple corer.
