I have a motorcycle accident story that I can even make this Linux
related. I was hit on the 101 by a Ram Charger back in Oct 1996 right
after the 101 -> 202 ramp opened up. I broke two vertebrate L2 and L3
in my lower back. I was laid up for 6 months.
How is this Linux related? I spent those 6 months barley able to walk,
but learned Linux inside out upside down and backwards. I didn't have
much else to do. I wouldn't suggest this as the preferred method to
learn Linux, but I think I am better off in the long run.
