Oh yeah, I forgot about that one.  I was lifting a couple boxes off of the
top of a taller-than-me stack.  There was an old Apple Disk ][ drive (with
the heavy metal enclosure) sitting on top of the top box.  I knew this.  I
told myself, "Don't tip the boxes".  So what did I do?  I forgot what I
just told myself and tipped the boxes as I lifted them off.  All of a
sudden, WHAM!  Blunt force trauma to the head.  The corner of the hard
drive enclosure walloped the top of my skull.  I had a nice corner-shaped
impression on my head.  A bit of blood, but no stitches required.

Duh.
