The lesson here seems to be "Never fuck with a chemist. (http://thedisgruntled.blogspot.com/2005/11/well-deserved-revenge.html)

This guy played a trick on a friend of his--simple stuff, impressive in the amount of time and energy it took to pull it off, but nothing incredible.

Nice. Aluminum foil all over everything. His friend got revenge. The first part was good.

Those are dixie cups of water, stapled together. They covered the entire desk before he made room for his laptop. But this is the kicker.

They grew wheatgrass in his desk drawers and coffee maker. That, my friends, is impressive in terms of practical jokedom.

I was in explorer scouts for a while when I was a young teen. My troop were preparing for careers in science, so we met at American Cyanamid's agricultural research facility. We worked under the supervision of scientists, mainly from the plant biotech division. That's when I learned scientists are crazy. Every scientist is a mad scientist. One of them kept virtually every breed of cockroach known to man in glass terrariums in his office. All of them litterally papered their offices with Far Side cartoons, and none of them had any problem with allowing teenage kids to mess around with potentially explosive or lethally poisonous chemicals (under their supervision, of course).

Every scientist is a mad scientist.
Why do you think I went into biology?:D

To create life from dead tissue like Dr. Frankenstein?

Only better. I wouldn't wuss out like excuse-for-a-madman Frankenstein. My monster would be truly monstrous, and it would do my bidding in return for being fed a steady diet of leafy greens and eggs. MUWAHAHAHAHA.

amatuerish - not enough chemicals or illegality involved

poor/10

i thought they'd be switching chemicals on them :(
of course, that could get real dangerous...

Have you looked at the basis for science? A requirement is you have to be crazy.

Yeah, that's about the age I remember it being.

I already knew not to screw with a chemist. I had to sleep in a tent for four days because of one. :(

Tell us more. When I started this thread, I was sort of counting on you to give us the lowdown on some of your "adventures." :D
