Roddi's Scale of Pain

Canadiancyclist recently featured an article by Roddi Lega (Norco Factory Team) after his outstanding performance at the La Ruta mountain bike marathon event in Costa Rica where he placed 7th overall against some stiff competition.
He wrote a very amusing article and I encourage you to check it out. I thought I would share the part I enjoyed the most. Here is Roddi's scale of pain:

"The way the scale works is much like a Richter scale for earthquakes. Each number is magnified by 100. So, what I think that means, is that a number 1 would be 100 times more painful than a 0. And the same goes for an 8, blocking a slap shot with your ear, teeth or junk. It has 100 times more pain and suffering than hitting your thumb with a hammer. All good.0 - No suffering or pain. Much like partying with great friends while watching Seinfeld, eating chocolate and drinking beer.
1 - Chapped lips or a hang nail.
2 - Reading this whole story.
3 - paper cuts
4 - Stubbing your toe on a bed, desk, or door and breaking it. It has to break to qualify for a 4, or else it's a 3.
5 - Eating Tuna fish sandwiches. Man, you sick bastards that eat those stinky things are crazy!
6 - Hitting your thumb with a hammer.
7 - Blocking a slap shot with your teeth, ear or junk.
8 - Drinking gasoline while smoking.
9 - Giving birth is a 9. Giving birth to more babies or larger and fatter babies can be even higher than 9.
10 - Lindsay Lohans singing or Britney Spears and many more of the same sounding women.
11 - Watching a full hour of Oprah."
