Ouch...

I never thought I'd be bitten by a blender.

And if I was bitten by a blender, you would think it would be from the blade.

I wasn't anywhere near the blade...wasn't even near the pitcher...

You know the thing that spins on top of the base - that turns the blade, provided the pitcher is attached to the base. I picked up the base to wipe the counter underneath, hit a button and the spinner-thingy got my index finger.

I think I would prefer the blade...

It took me about three times as long to type this message w/o using my forefinger!! Wah...
