3. I am unfortunately also employed in a job that requires the use of power tools. I have driven a nail through my thumb before with a nail gun (while building a set for a production of Die Zauberflöte, in fact). I have a rather large scar on my left leg from another workplace accident (not involving power tools).

Hahaha, this thread is great. Sorry to dredge it up from the world of yesterday, but it's worth it.
Yep, I mispronounce words all the time. I also say completely the wrong word, and don't tend to realise until I stop speaking and replay the words in my head.
Sample conversation from a few days ago:
"The thing about Sellafield is <extended spiel about Chernobyl>
....did I say Sellafield before?"
"Yes."
"Oh. I meant Chernobyl."
"Yes, I guessed."
See also the bizarre, nonsensical conversation I had the other day, where I had tried to initiate a discussion about Red Dwarf but had in fact said Doctor Who.
And I have my own version of #4, in the form of being super gullible. My flatmates don't even bother stringing me along any more. Another sample conversation:
Flatmate: "I've just won the lottery!!!"
Me: "Really?"
Flatmate: "No."
Sigh.
