When I was around 9-10 I went to a rather rural little-league baseball park to watch a friend play, and in my boredom, I decided it would be a good idea to briefly grab onto the electrical fence of the neighboring farmer's field to see if it was on or not.... (it was definitely on)....

It would have to be jumping up and down on that old wooden chair in the long grass in front of my dad's house while he was building it. Who knew that the chair had been placed there to mark where the hornet's nest was? Anyway, doesn't it seem like you should warn a five year old about something like that? I nearly died that day.

I was at an art camp and we went on a field trip to this old amusement park (I think we were there to sketch the rides), and I was inside this building there walking up the stairs with some friends and I heard singing. I knew there were some people from our group up there, so I assumed it was them (very stupid). So then as a joke I yelled up to them "You can't sing!" (looking back, that was a mean thing to say and I shouldn't have said it anyway, so that was stupid in itself). So I take a few more steps and look up, and I see it's not the kids from our group, it's a bunch of four-year-olds and their chaperones. I was too embarrassed to look at them. I felt horrible about it the entire rest of the day, but never apologized because I was just too humiliated.

I was racing my friend in gym class on the school track and had my head turned to check his progress. If I ever find out who put those benches in Lane 1, there's gonna be hell to pay.

It went to the tune of left shin, face plant on bench, barrel roll through air, face plant on edge of table, front flip to smacking the back of my head on the ground, second front flip to faceplant on ground and 6 foot skid. My leg was cut straight through to the muscle....and my freaking gym teacher made me keep running!!!!!

Then, I mailed my dirty laundry home from camp,

and I tried stealing my friend's bike, but ended up flipping over the handle bars when I swerved on the beach,

And then I used a full swing on a mini-golf course, knocking someone in the head, and then I threw the club, knocking a hole in a castle,

And then I did air guitar on top of my desk on the last day of school when the bell rang, only I was hearing things and ended up doing it ten minutes early,

And that was all just in the past two months!

I've done many stupid things. Here's a list. I'll count down to #1 I guess, since I'm bored shitless.

10--"Accidentally" uploading the entire contents of a corporate computer to the University's tech help desk computer and thus, crashing the system. Then having to explain to the 'rents. I was 10.
9--Driving the lawn mower into the side of the swimming pool.
8--Giving a radio commentary about how the UN was going to be responsible for the next major nuclear war, and then wondering why people were chanting "UN NUKES!" when I went to get the award for it.
7--Hearing Jessica Simpson say the line about buffalo wings and assuming that it must just be buffalo thighs they serve.
6--Accidentally giving the DoT the wrong home address and personal information when registering for a Driver's Permit. I guess lacking a decent memory can be a problem sometimes.
5--Flunking my heart rate test. How lame can you get? I actually flunked a test in phy ed, and it wasn't for any lack of studying.
4--Delivering a report to the class on how technology had been developed to allow humans, mice, and bears to hibernate in Antarctica, and how a megacorporation had plotted to capitalise on the idea by colonising the continent. Unfortunately, a bit too late, I realised that I hadn't actually found the information surfing the web at school... I had been asleep and dreamed it. ARGH!
3--Never apologising to a friend of mine who is likely going to be deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan.
2--Drank a family-size bottle of anasthetic during morning break in attempt to instantly cure a bad sore throat. That worked, but I think I OD'ed.
1--Breaking my nose FOUR FRICKIN' TIMES... I have truly turned debate into a contact sport.

I was swimming in a public pool, dunked my head underwater, saw a turd in front of me, gasped for breath, got a bunch of water in my lungs and lost consciousness. I awoke to someone kissing me on the lips, and for whatever reason I flailed and punched them square in the face. Opening my eyes, it was the drop dead gorgeous lifeguard I had been admiring earlier. She had a bloody nose and busted lip, and unfortunately that's how I thanked her for saving my life.

LOL, for me it's usually electricity, too. When I was a sprout, we went to the zoo... and brilliant tyke that I was, reached through the outer fence of the bear enclosure, and grabbed the inner (highly electrified) fence. I'd thought I'd blown my arm off, it hurt so bad. :D

Oh, I have another one. Me and a few of my friends were up in my room after my 13th birthday celebration, and I had the bright idea of biting into the balloons and sucking out the helium. The first one exploded in my face, the second time it worked. We were talking like high-pitched midgets with the helium in our lungs, and kept it up, balloon after balloon. I decided to suck in a lot of it, and got really light-headed and dizzy. Next thing I knew, I was out. Luckily, I awoke a few minutes later, though it seemed longer to me. Beware of helium inhalation!

when i was in 6th grade we were doing some sort of golf unit in physical ed. When my friend goes up to golf he says sumthing stupid, i cant rember what. So i through the clip board at him, and then a pen. I go to pick these items up, and as im walking behind him he out of no where brings the club back at full speed right into my face. Boy, does that hurt! Man my nose was busted! i splattered some blood and skin over the girls in the group! And since the gym teacher was already pissed at me for not following the rules, i didnt tell her. So i walked around the rest of the period with a broken nose and a mild concussion(not my first i may add). I at least dignified myself by not crying even though it hurt like a bitch. Simple accident right? Well next year, golf unit agian. Me and some friends are at the farthest part of the field. The teacher calls us in and right as the teacher walks in i go "i challenge you to a duel!" to a friend. We joking spar with the gulf clubs when some fat kid, thinking he;s funny, throws a gulf club at me..... :headbang: wtf? well that hurt. alot. i dont like gulf any more.

Option 2 for me: thinking that I could entertain a room full of drunken and belligerent punks by standing on stage and attempting to play the duet Duelling Banjos (AKA Feuding Banjos) on banjo played with my hands and a virtual theremin played with my foot. Remarkably I not only survived unscathed but also got a round of enthusiastic applause for my efforts.

Actually, helium inhalation is relatively safe, provided you're not like, trapped in a room with nothing but helium, or something like that. Being lighter than air, it quickly gets evacuated from the lungs. Do it enough and yes, you're likely to get light-headed, even pass out, but it's not likely to harm you.

For the love of Pete, however, never, ever inhale a gas directly from any pressurized container or cylinder, unless you enjoy rupturing your lungs. That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen someone else do.

Stupidest thing I've ever done?

It's a 53-way tie. :)

But rather than repeat some of my all-time greats, let me tell you a story I haven't shared yet.

There are some stories I haven't shared yet because they are just not appropriate for this forum.

This one isn't like that. It's just not quite as funny as some of my more famous antics.

When I was about fifteen, a new house began being built next door. I met our soon-to-be new neighbors and they seemed like nice people. But what fascinated me most was the construction site. I'd visit it from time to time on the weekends when nobody was around and just look at it. One day, under some trees was a half-full bucket of sealing tar. It's this black goo(not hot) that they use to waterproof foundations sometimes. Partly out of curiosity, and partly out of my demented love of anything gooey, I stick my hand into the bucket. I pull out my black sticky mess of a hand and I try to wipe some off onto a nearby tree trunk.

Only then do I realize that I may have done something stupid. Fortunately, my parents weren't home and wouldn't be for several hours. I ran home and began to clean my hand. Nothing worked. I managed to scrape off most of the excess, but nothing was getting my hand clean. Finally, out of desperation, I tried S.O.S. steel wool scrubbing pads. They worked. Two hours and four pads later, I got my hand clean. Red, raw and bleeding here and there, but clean. :(

This is like a short-list for the Darwin Awards!

Most stupid thing I've ever done...
Being a physics student, we have lab sessions. One of the experiments that need to be done is one on radiation where you have two radiation detectors mounted on stands pointing at eachother and a radioactive source in the middle. Noticing that one of my radiation detectors seemed to be at a bit of an angle, I decided in my wisdom to push it up a bit to try and bend the mounting into shape. SNAP!
The thing broke off and a few hundred euros of detector hits the bench top. :(

The most stupid thing my lab demonstrator has ever done:
Believed me when I said it was like that when I got there!

I've done so many stupid things...where to begin...

Lets see, I'd have to put down the same as Eutrusca...ya know, chasing beautiful women because I thought they really wanted me...

Orrr...I could go with the night I decided to install a performance kit on the Turbo 350 tranny in my truck...Was goin fine till we go to the part where the instructions kinda turned lax... Soooo, I went about putting everything back to the way it'd been when I pulled the pan off. Planning on returning the kit, I didnt replace the pan gasket like I should've and blew off my buddy's warning b/c "I'll replace it soon enough"...yeah, a few months and $2000 later, I put in a brand new tranny because I dropped the other. And then of course, the story continues that thinking "built heavy-duty meant built for performance" I proceeded to kill the 2nd transmission by consistently driving the 450 miles to my ex's place at approx 90-100mph 2-3 times a month... Lets just say that I learned the hard way trucks arent supposed to drive 90 mph for long periods of time... So, another $2000 and a high performance tranny later...I dont drive over 80mph on the highway...

But...the stupidest thing I've ever done occurred last night when I hurt the one person I really care about. Without going into details, lets just say that I've learned my lesson and am damn lucky to have been forgiven...

Two instances stick out clearly in my mind both of which happened with the same friend

1. His mum gives him important documents to burn. He comes round my house we go into the woods dump a massive load of sticks and petrol (way too much petrol) and light it with the deoderant can flame thrower trick.

The flames were above out head in an instant i singed all down the right side of my face. We chucked the can away and went for the water bucket. Low and behold the can lands in the fire explodes and throws burning sticks everywhere i'm lucky to be alive.



2. Same guy. I was round his house we were watching wrestling we got bored. For reference he has a patio roughly 6ft above the ground. We found some old wood and decided to make a makeshift table. We then decided that it wasn't exciteing enough and we set it on fire (i just don't learn) we got the kid we were baby sitting (makes the whole thing even worse doesn't it?) to film me chokeslamming (wrestling move) my friend off the patio through the table. His shoulder was on fire briefly.

The thing that scares us is we have high IQs we go to grammer schools yet me still do this? were 16

Electrocuting myself off the mains and then doing it again and agian and again coz I thought it was funny the way the whole room went blue.....
Calas

Yeah, it is funny! I was once 'fixing' a mains adapter, a wire was snipped, and I had the ends in my mouth as I needed my hands to stick the plug into the adapter box. My brother (11, ah bless), thought it'd a great idea that while my back was turned and I had two wires in my mouth, to get the mains plug, stick it in the wall quickly and hit the switch before I knew what was happening.

The room did indeed go blue, I ended up on my back laughing for no reason I've ever been able to figure out, and the trip switch went in the fuse box. Dinner tasted funny that night... :confused:

In Home Ec. class, things got boring...
racing with sewing machines is a bad idea...
anywho, three fingers were sewn together through the fingernails...

At horse camp, things got boring...
so i grabbed the sheep fence...
it takes a lot to zap a sheep throught 4" of wool...

I got myself a 200,000 volt stun gun for the ignition system on my potatoe cannon... it fried the wires, so i held them apart to stop the short circuit...

After replacing the tazer with a bbq ignitor, we shot the cannon straight up. It went 300' straight up... and landed on my neighbors brand new car...

2 pounds of homemade explosives touched off on the porch...

Damn near killed everyone with CO poisoning on a scout trip...and melted the wood stove...

dipping my finger in maple sugar on the stove for a taste...

covering my hand in alcohol and lighting it...

snorting a whole large pixie stick...(the plastic tube)

did the same with salt...

and pepper...

and flour...

chugging a 2 litre bottle of cola mixed with salsa...

allowing myself to be massaged by a beautiful woman for an hour, to be caught by the father...

trying to catch a tree...

catching a chainsaw...

zippo+blackpowder in basement...

lit a rocket engine in vice...

lit a rocket engine outside a vice...

filled a rocket with gunpowder and touched it off...

eaten poo.

a friend once jumped off a 45 ft railway bridge because someone said theyed give him 25p towards a kebab

needless to say he was drunk

his injuries were as follows; two broken legs, two shattered heel bones three crushed vertebrae and a broken wrist because he tried to get up afterwards.

he made a full recovery.

There are a number of different methods...easiest I've heard is mix gasoline with OJ, put in the freezer till it gels...or something along those lines...

I'm not going to mention where I linked it from. Partly because it might be banned, and partly because it's shit, and I might thus be discredited. I've heard this does actually work though:

- Pour some gas into an old bowl, or some kind of container.

- Get some styrofoam and put it in the gas, until the gas won't eat anymore. You should have a sticky syrup.

- Put it on the end of something (don't touch it!). The unused stuff lasts a long time!

Lemme see, stupid things I've done...

I only like talking about the funny ones that aren't my fault, so here goes:

I've nearly been run over by an ambulance. Wearing a hood and looking to where the cars normally come from might be dangerous, since ambulances don't always conform to the German laws on traffic...

Scouting. Scouting has a lot of fun stories. Like the time we were huddled over our small fire in the morning (it being rather cold) when someone had the ingenius idea to pour the last bit of their benzene from their stove into the fire. We all jumped back several feet to avoid getting our eye-brows scorched off... :D

Me and my friends made a Moltov Cocktail about an hour ago.

There's gasoline and styrofoam.

Well, I'm not about to go into incendiaries, but in line with the idea of stupid things done with household objects, an 'accident' I once had was when I took the capacitor out of a disposable camera (it was for the flash, they're mighty big, and apparently have a voltage of about 230Volts, though I skipped the lecture which would've taught me how to calculate it properly) I then proceeded to try and short it once I'd pried it off teh circuit board as I knew from experience that it gave a pretty good light show. While fumbling with the newly charged capacitor trying to bring my penknife around to short the contacts, I accidentally touched them with my finger. :eek:
had two little burns, about 5mm apart, looked like some kind of mutant spider bite!
The benefit of hindsight has led me to conclude that it was worth it!

(NOTE: having learnt more about capacitors since then, I DO NOT suggest anyone attempt shorting a capacitor, at least not more than once or twice, as my electronics lecturer assures me that there's a distinct possibility it will explode! Just cause it's fun, does NOT make it healthy!)
