I've seen more than one of these horrifying-experience one-up threads. They're pretty terrible.

I've seen a liquefied brain literally dripping from shattered skull fragments and watched a corpse shrink in girth by at least 6 inches within seconds when punctured with a scalpel. And these were from fairly fresh corpses; nothing like bodies from a mass grave. If you were able to keep your lunch ReeseDog, then you have my admiration. Even if it was in a bag.

I've seen bands/'artists' blatantly rip off other people's material and hype it as all their own

When I was 19 on a ship that used these these huge booms/cable contraptions to replensish munitions and missles to other Navy ships, I saw a man get cut in half by a swingback cable that had been tensioned and then frayed when the cable failed and came apart.

The frayed end whipped back at about 110 mph and one of my shipmates was standing in the wrong spot when it came back so fast, he was cut in half and we never found the top half of his body. Well, we found part of it splayed along the gundeck and along the bulkheads, but the majority of it ended up in the ocean. Fishfood. That stayed vivid in my mind for about ten years. I still remember the smirk on that sailor's face he used to have - I can remember his face better than my own division chief or my own boss.

I'd have to say watching my father die from cancer, atrophy, over around a five year period, to skin and bones, unable to move, was pretty bad. Or was it was seeing mom catatonic?

Good times.

In my last school in Korea, I'd find a swirl of unflushed diarrhea virtually every morning in the toilet, left behind by fellow Korean male teachers.

I felt terrified about sitting on the seat. What would happen if their deposit made contact with my behind? Truly shocking.

I went to mortuary college and then worked at a funeral home with a rather ghetto client base. I enjoyed caring for the families but there was a child that fell down a staircase while roughhousing with a cousin and the coroner seriously abused her little body trying to find a way to charge that family with some kind of abuse. Certainly, someone should have intervened before the play got that rough, but they didn't find any other evidence of abuse or neglect. Stitching her back together was rough.
