A friend of mine lived in an apartment building with stairs that looked like cheese graters. I was scared to death of those things. I wouldn’t stand on them for too long because I was afraid I would trip and literally grate my knees off or something.

“I have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They don’t call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner. Because I wanted to clean it, but now I have little bits of sponge that would melt easily over tortilla chips.” -Mitch Hedberg

I guess Biff doesn’t need anything terribly sophisticated or complex to injure himself. But now I can’t help but wonder where are the “shreadings” of his hand?

@ Chivalrybean: lol!

*looks at finger* My injury hasnt healed all the way yet. I love cheese so even with my fear of cheese graters it is over ruled by the wanting of cheese. ^_^ yay cheese.

I see the comic, and the first thing I think of isn’t a grater, but a shredder… And industrial shredder… An industrial, high-security shredder. Named Clyde.

Clyde would eat entire technical manuals, PVC covers, steel piano-hinges, and all, in one go - even manuals that were many hundreds of pages thick. And he’d spit out tiny confetti out the other end - flakes so small they would float in the air. NO ONE was going to reconstruct those documents!

Now… Imagine what would happen if Clyde got a hold of your hand… I suspect it’d look a lot like the image in this cartoon.

Cool—I finally went through the whole archive—not to mention the comments.
Cheese graters make me a little nervous, too; there is no reason they should, though, since I generally pay enough attention to prevent grating anything with nerves in it, and it would take quite a bit more spaciness to actually cut myself with the cheese grater.

@Taz: Since the comments accept html code, you will lose whatever you type after a “<” character until you type a “>” character. This is the most common reason for losing half of a comment. I get around this by knowing the html codes for the relevant characters. (^_^)
FYI, the code is: ampersand, ell (L), tee (T), semicolon. & L T ;

@ Charlotte:

side1= normal grated cheeese
side2= cheeese slicer (sometimes with a smaller lemon zester)
side3= fine grater
side4= Zester.

Where is his hand?! is it piled up inside the cheeese grater?? or has biff made some sort of teleportational device inside the grater which transfers it directly to another plate somewhere? if he has, i want one. no matter how well i grate cheese, or how sharp the grater is, i always end up covering the table in grated cheese.

@ people who can grate cheese without spillage: i’m jealous!

This is why I buy bags pre-grated cheese. My wife bought me a cheese grater that I’ve never used. I’m saving that bad boy for a zombie attack.
