Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Post your most Awesome stories/quick anecdotes of the ridiculous, dangerous and amusing escapades. If this gets Awesome enough, I will make a PDF and have it printed and bound in Book Form.

So one time, I decided it would be cool to go and make dangerous chemicals and incendiary devices. First up was Nitrogen Tri-iodide, a powerful contact explosive. (me and my friends were incredibly bored that summer) I wont post how to make it, out of respect to not getting NR sued, so instead here is Wikipedia's description of the stuff:

Nitrogen triiodide, also called nitrogen iodide, more correctly, triiodine nitride, is the chemical compound with the formula NI3. It is an extremely sensitive contact explosive: small quantities explode with a gunpowder-like snap when touched even lightly, releasing a purple cloud of iodine vapor. NI3 has a complex structural chemistry that has required relatively heroic efforts to elucidate because of the instability of the derivatives.

no, this stuff can be set off by a strong WIND, and here we were with about a half cup of the stuff. many bricks and old comp parts met their end that day... at one point, we were considering taking what we had left and putting it into a pringles can and throwing it, but we thought better, and continued to simply throw things AT the stuff, much safer than actually throwing it.

Anyhoo, we had fun with it.
Any other tales of irresponsibility and boredom in action?

    I go where I please, and I please where I go

    O.o

    Still have all your fingers? I have to say, breathing in iodine vapor wouldn't be high on my list of things to do over the summer holidays.

    I once poured methylated spirits onto an already lit fire thinking "it'll make the fire go faster". Luckily I managed not to kill anyone or burn my mates house down.

    I also picked up one of these bastards at the beach once. I was thinking "hey, this looks a lot like one of those pois- OH SHIT" and chucked it back in, just as it was poking it's little harpoon out.

    Never though, have I attempted to make volatile blasting compound in my backyard. I bet your neighbors thought you were running a meth lab.

      your near-death by snail, while not epic, is certainly amusing, so it qualifies. any details to provide?

        Not particularly, other than if you get stung by the nastier ones you die a very slow death.

        I think people may be right when they say everything in australia is out to kill you, we're just better at not noticing.

    I once got chased by police through the suburbs while not wearing any pants. Funny thing is, for once in my life I wasn't actually breaking the law.


    Well, except for the no pants in public thing.

        They thought I was stealing things, apparently. I wasn't, I was merely painting lovely designs on them without a whole lot of permission. There is a difference!

        I used to be (Still am, but don't have the time) a bit of a pyromaniac. It's a trait of the entire male side of my family, without exception.

        He just happened to get in the way when I was experimenting with a bit of black powder in a tissue wrapped in scrunched up paper that was on fire.

        It was his own damned fault really :B

    so i look her in the eye and say "no". didn't even break rhythm. I felt kinda epic cause we kept going and sustained a f-buddy relationship for about a month

    Kicking Ass And Chewing Gum And All Outta Gum

    This is more like my bros' story.

    One time both my bros. (Mike and Darwin) were at the neighbors' house playing shit. The neighbors were named Luis and Joel.

    Mike and Joel were in the computer room playing some game they bought, and Darwin and Luis were playing ping-pong.

    Darwin and Luis were playing furiously, and were really getting into the game. Eventually, Darwin hit the ball so hard, he didn't even bother aiming at the other side of the table, he just did that for the sake of ending the hit streak they had going on. The ball did a weird curve and hit Luis right in his left eye, and then Mike and Joel rushed into the living-room after they heard the really loud laughter this caused.

    Darwin grabbed the ball and the paddle and explained what just happened, making very lively motions and gestures to really get them to feel the experience. Suddenly, Darwin made a violent swing with the paddle as he explained this, and he accidentally hit the ball, which curved in such a way that it actually hit Luis in the same eye again. They could not stop laughing for the rest of the day.

    From this moment on, Darwin and Luis never played ping-pong without having Luis trying to hit my bro in the eye :b

    In my county, we have a student elected to the Board of Education, they don't really do much, but we get out of class to vote for them. They have a debate on the county school TV channels we get to watch too, and one year, one of the candidates gave their cell phone number saying they could call him with any questions.

    A friend of mine ended up calling him around 40 times at midnight one night. After a while, he stopped answering, so we filled his answering machine with the pokemon theme music. He lost the election too.

    Oh yes, and kids, in high-school chemistry, there is definitely a reason you measure your ingredients. No-one likes the smartarse who evacuated 2 labs because he made about 5 litres of chlorine after he "went with his gut feeling" instead of the scales. Fume hood my ass.

    My uncle had a friend in college majoring in psychology. For his final exam, he had 4 hours to answer one question. The question was "Why?" and his friend wrote "Why not?" and walked out, the professor hadn't even given everyone their papers yet.

    Microwaves.

    My cousin and I once microwaved a bunch of green army dudes. It was fun.

    Then my sister put a frying pan with eggs in it in the microwave. I was able to stop the microwave despite the shots of lightning coming out of it.

    I was actually the nice kid. She was the one who got into stuff. We did dare our cousin to go grab a live wire once. And we wonder why she's all fucked up now. XD
