    why doesn't your other comment appear here so i can respond to it, anyway I find it hard to believe you cut your cheek but then again it's plausible so =) ok that's some crazy shit if you did cut your face on a guitar string

  • @ihopesome1readsthis

    can't happen, mythbusters disproved it, they used steel cables from a mountain lift, nothing happened on pigs skin, so nothing will happen here, can't get hurt by wires
