Man gets body part stuck in a weight at the gym

WORMS, Germany (FOX11) - Firefighters in Worms, Germany were called in to help free a man who got his body part stuck in the hole of a 2.5kg (5.5 pound) weight at a gym. With the help of a grinder and a hydraulic saw, they were able to break the weight into 5 parts, freeing the man's p3n1s.

On Friday, the Feuerwehr Worms Fire Department released a photo on Facebook, showing the dumbbell disc broken into 5 pieces after the 3-hour ordeal that took place in order to free the man.

The message in their Facebook post was very clear: "Bitte solche Aktionen nicht nachmachen!" which translates to "Please do not imitate such actions!"

Einsatzbericht: Kurioser Trainingsunfall - Hilfeleistung fürs Klinikum
Wie heikel so mancher Einsatz unserer Feuerwehr sein kann, zeigt eine Meldung der etwas anderen Art, die am heutigen Freitagmorgen, 15.09.2017, in der Leitstelle einging. Die Berufsfeuerwehr wurde zur Unterstützung ins Klinikum Worms gerufen. Eine Person hatte sich ein sehr sensibles Körperteil in dem Loch einer 2,5 kg-Hantelscheibe eingeklemmt. Mit Hilfe vom Trennschleifer, einer Vibrationssäge und einem hydraulischem Rettungsgerät konnte das Hantelgewicht nach drei Stunden entfernt werden.
Im Einsatz waren die Berufsfeuerwehr und ein Feuerwehrmann der freiwilligen Einheit Stadtmitte.
Bitte solche Aktionen nicht nachmachen!

Application report: Curious training accident - assistance for the clinic. How a few of our fire brigade's operations can be so delicate is shown by a message from the slightly different kind that took place in the control center today, Friday, 15.09.2017. The professional fire brigade was called to the hospital in Worms. One person had a very sensitive body part in the hole of a 2.5 kg dumbbell disc clamped. With the aid of the cutting grinder, a vibrating saw and a hydraulic rescue device, the weight could be removed after three hours. The fire brigade and a firefighter of the voluntary unit were the city center. Please do not imitate such actions!

I bought a bug at a thrift store once. I bid $68 for it and got it. All I need to due to get it running was replace the fuel lines. So for under a $100 I gave it to my Nephew as his first car.

Does anybody have a suggestion for a good cleaner for sterling silverware? Of course I know about the product, "Tarn-X", but it doesn't really do as good a job as I would like. Some of the silver sits inside a special cloth bag and that keeps the tarnish away, but the basic forks, knives, and spoons, I use everyday, and they need some spiffing up.

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

Ah, polishing silver brings back memories of vacation jobs in a precious metals rolling drawing and coining mil with its hours of cleaning and polishing everything between stages. A(rg)h those were the days.
The best - jeweler's rouge. But that I hard to use properly.
Next come the proper liquid silver polishes, since we are on opposite sides of the pond I won't name brands. For deep "crinkly" decoration I find an old, soft tooth brush to be quite effective. I find the wadding and cloth types of polish ineffective in comparison.

The old toothbrush is a good idea. I'm not familiar with the "jeweler's rouge", but the jewelry store I talked to certainly offered their services, however they advised if they did it, it would obviously be expensive. What's in the liquid cleaners? Maybe I could make my own?

I just got an email from a friend who suggested soda water and aluminum foil.

I'd suggest "Silvo" - its an impregnated wadding type of material, but I'm not sure if you can get it in the USA - I've used it on my Sheaffer 'Imperial' pen, for about 40 years and I still have a pen left! Perhaps you can get something similar, if you can't get it there. My late brother, would probably have recommended Goddard's Silver Dip, given his expertise in metal-finishing, but then, it would've been for a different reason - amongst other things, he was responsible for the Silver track PCB in the Audio Innovations valve amp, back in the 90s (and they said it couldn't be done!), so he was more concerned with a different sort of 'clean'. Something like Silver Dip, I'd only use for very bad tarnishing and very carefully - it can 'bite'.

You can try Bar Tender's Friend. But it is a very mild abrasive. But only as a last case if all else fails. The foil and baking soda work for me.

We've got both Silvo and Brasso here in Australia, and both do an excellent job of cleaning the metals they're meant for.

Soda water and aluminum foil is OKish on smooth, undecorated surfaces.
The liquid polishes are basically a very fine abrasive suspended in an oil/water emulsion or an oil/alcohol mix. Some have a tiny amount of a detergent, and some have a small amount of wax (which is supposed to coat the surface and slow down tarnishing).
In the past I've had some luck using a toothpaste/water mix, but you have to wash that off after you've done otherwise one's silver spoon adds a mint flavour to everything.
Whatever you use a really good buff up once finished with a good quality "yellow polishing cloth" will improve the shine, and the shine will tend to last longer.

I tried the baking soda/hot water/aluminum foil thing earlier this evening, and I was sort of amazed the results were as good as they were, but I'll definitely be giving them a second treatment, and also be using a toothbrush for the ornate portions of the handles.

Yes, that's me talking in these home videos I just made:
