I think only Tim Allen could challenge you.
I'm assuming you have:
Emercency dr. on speed dial
A reserved parking space at the E-room
Your own private room at said E-room
Regular police escort to E-room
Personal doctor at E-room

I'm only 28, and I could dang near beat you already.
I'm not listing them out though...just the highlights.
3rd grade, fell off monkey bars, 8 stitches chin
6th grade, "hey dude, your head is bleeding" (8 stitches)
18 yrs, utility knife vs thumb, 92 stitches
19 yrs, tree trimmer vs thumb, 8 stitches
24 yrs, kidney stone vs ureter (mommy!)
25 yrs, sun vs random two week sun allergy, lots of steroids and a summer of long sleeve shirts and multiple ER visits
like i said, those are the highlights, not the comprehensive list. i've stopped getting stitches unless it's absolutely necessary, now i use duct tape and paper towel after soaking in hydrogen peroxide and digging any foriegn objects out with an exacto blade

I would take your thrown in a heartbeat, but I think my hands would get cramped up before getting half way thru my list. So for the time you can keep the thrown.
That cut looks like one of my own that was self inflicted with a utility knife while cutting pastic corner bead. I'm glad it was a fresh blade but the 6 inch cut that required stitches to repair the muscle inside my thigh and stitches outside to close it all back up. I think I may still have the jeans around that I had on. Now all I have is the low spot and scar.
Short List:
Stitches (Deep muscle and outter)
Broken Bones (Including Jaw complete with 3 screws on each side)
Chemical Burns (Spent a 3 days in the Hospital wrapped in plastic wrap)

After seeing in your profile that you are a machinist I would have to say your list of injuries is pretty short.
