For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

This specific image is actually from a completely different event, it was a contestant in the Cincinnati World Piano Competition.

~~The pianist cut his pinky with one of the bass keys~~

“The edge of the key was very sharp. I landed at an angle on the edge of the key, which sliced the finger like a knife.”

Groaners like this are what I look at comments for.

I don't know if it means that there is something wrong with me but that is one of hottest (as in sexy) things I have ever read. Rachmaninoff in a bloodbath as the keys got slippery and sticky... My pulse literally quickened.
