YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS: TMZ has obtained the gnarly 911 call made after Nick Palatas -- who plays Shaggy in a new "Scooby Doo" movie -- sliced his thumb open with a table saw.
Palatas -- who had been working with the saw at his house in Northridge, CA back in September -- made the frantic call himself ... telling the dispatcher he "cut it all the way down to the bone ... I must have cut a half-inch off my finger ... I'm bleeding quite badly."
When the dispatcher asks Palatas if he's breathing normally, the actor replies: "I'm trying to keep it as normal as possible, sir, it hurts like f**k!!" Palatas was eventually taken to the hospital and sewn up.
We give this call two mangled thumbs up.

Nick Palatas -- the straight-to-DVD "Scooby-Doo" actor -- just lopped off his thumb.
Nick's manager tells us the actor -- who plays Shaggy in the film -- was working with a table saw this afternoon in Northridge, CA when the saw struck a knot in the wood and suddenly jumped.
We're told the saw sliced off one-third to one-half of Nick's right thumb. Nick dialed 911. Yes.
While in the ambulance, Nick called his mother and asked her to go to his home and retrieve his thumb ... which she obligingly did.
Nick's mother just took the thumb to Northridge Hospital -- but the medical staff concluded it could not be reattached.
Nick is now waiting on a "top Hollywood plastic surgeon" to see if he'll ever get put back together again.

Hiding only one of her wonky thumbs, Megan Fox let the other one breathe while making her way through a Paris hotel.
It's a good thing the other 99.73% of the digitally-challenged 23-year-old is perfect.

Star Wars and computer nerds go together like BSD and terminal commands.
Aware of this undeniable fact, the Mimoco company is introducing a limited edition version of our favorite Sith lord in the form of a USB flash memory drive.
The flash drive, which measures at just over two inches in length, is available in three sizes starting at $79.95. The foreboding figure of Anakin Skywalker will certainly bring terror to your other inferior flash drives and any rebels residing in nearby cubicles.
The only problem is that we don't remember Darth Vader having bunny ears.
(TMZ apologizes for the numerous nerd references in the above story)
