Someone who is not athletic?

Nah... Pretending to be a geek is totally more serious.

At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

While building it. XD Most "while wearing it" injuries tend to be more of the "ogod my feet are killing me after 4 days in these shoes!"
Hell, it ain't a cosplay project until somebody's burned mishandling a glue gun.

Not much to tell. The Gundam costume had a welded steel frame, I was the one doing the welding, and a spark got up underneath my safety glove and burned the back of my hand. Honestly, I had a worse glue gun burn from that project, but the hole "OMG WELDING TORCH!" sounds more serious.
