Stupid Things My Friends Have Done (WARNING! TALE OF EXTREME ANIMAL CRUELTY)

Jimmy the Squid:
Well, nothing we didn't already know.

My friends and I had one of those highschool science projects where you pick something, anything to experiment with and hand a report in on it. We chose to find out how quickly the ground up coating of Sparklers burns. Basically this ended up with us filling a 2Lt Coke bottle to the brim with ground up Sparkler dust. The result was a 2 minute white flame that rose about 7 to 8 feet in the air and filled the neighbourhood with smoke for a couple of hours. Like any good scientists we did this more than once to make sure our findings were sound. The second time the bottle fell over and began spinning around, spewing forth fire in every direction. I not only left a melted mound of plastic stuck to my friend's driveway but it also cracked the shit out of the concrete. Good times.

That actually sounds so awesome. Where can you get that much sparklers for cheap?

We used to do that shit on the beach, as well as make flaming tennis ball cannons. Basically if theres some sort of home made explosive device you can make and set off on a beach, i've made it and set it off on a beach

Also! Stupid things my friends have done!

At the staff party for work a week or two ago, we got very drunk on a boat. Then we moved to a bar where we had a bartab set up, across the road from my work. I lasted about an hour before I was asked to leave the premises for being too drunk (they have pretty strict laws about allowing intoxicated people in venues here) anyway, I wasn't particularly surprised, especially because I'd evidently blacked out by this point. The stupid thing was what I found out had happened shortly after I'd allegedly left, when one of my workmates, along with a former workmate who he replaced, were kicked out not long after I was, and wound up scaling the wall of the two story building, climbing in through the staff room window, making it into the public area of the bar without running into each other and then being immediately thrown out again by the bouncers and told they weren't welcome there anymore.

In the middle of the desert is great for these sorts of shenanigans. Back when I lived in Egypt, my friends and I would routinely burn or explode things at night while out camping. Even just lobbing aerosol cans into the fire from the safety of a ridge made for awesome fireworks. The main thing holding back our pyrotechnic ambitions was that if we ever got too out of control the army would probably think we were a terrorist training camp and blow us away.


Most of my stories about friends doing stupid things are of the "you had to be there" variety. They probably have more stories about me being an ass than I of them.

Switchblade:
One of my mates who used to live in Berlin was talking about how his friend's mum was a dentist, and had access to one of these ultrasonic sterilizing machines for cleaning her tools.

Turned out, if you fitted a drainpipe to the thing in the right place, then dropped a can of Pepsi down the drainpipe and turned the machine on, the vibration was enough to force all the gas out of solution pretty much instantly, blowing the back end of the can off and launching the can a couple of hundred yards.

Pretty funny, up until the point where they accidentally fired it into the art gallery across the road.... :-)

(maybe I should have gone with this story for opening the thread...)
