I broke some 800 year old japanese wood figure but glued it together again with some hot glue.
...others get payed well for that kind of stuff and call it restoration.
It then went back to some japanese museum.

Haha, near where I live in Cambridge a couple of years ago there was a big news story about this, some guy on the stairs:
When a visitor to a Cambridge museum tripped over his shoelaces he smashed a set of 17th Century Chinese porcelain vases into pieces.

The worst was when I was playing with my grandad's lighter and accidentally set the whole balcony ablaze. Who knew plastic bags could burn instead of just melt? Oh well.
Great job, BBloke!

i took out a 50,000$ trailor for a big rig when i was working for DHL (local courier), lost control of a set of rollers which outweighed me by a good 400lbs, rollers went into the trailor thru it and then out the other side (thru the wall of the trailor) before destroying themselfs on the other side

Seconded. You really pulverized that trailer, didn't you? No wonder you're so good at caving skulls in with a wrench - you just imagine the thing in your hand is the roller and the other guy's head is the trailer.
Great job, BBloke!

I think it's more just the fact that he's Toco and he has a wrench. Accidental head splitting is just an inevitable consequence.
