Stupid Things You've Done and want to Share with the World

The other day, there was a little old man staring in at my neighbours window for about half an hour, not moving. I got seriously creeped out. I thought about calling the police but instead, leaned out of the window and yelled at him. Turns out, creepy old man was a bush.

Helen was telling this story once before and I did not understand that by bush she meant a bush. I thought it was one of those strange nicknames British people have for things, like a police officer or a maintenance man or something. Everyone laughed.

Oh that was so funny. I saved the quote.

[username]: i dunno what a bush is lol

XD That was pretty funny.

Eh. I broke my headset again.

It's probably a side-effect of living at a women's college for the past four months, but I keep forgetting about those people with the XY chromosomes. They have their own special pronoun and everything.

Roommate: I think I should get Florin something for Christmas.
Me: Yeah, she's great!
Roommate: He. You've met him.

Today in my science book:
The current with 1 jelly battery was 1.3 cheese AMPs. The current with 2 songs batteries was 2.6 Neopets AMPs.

In two of my HS science classes, we got to create arbitrary units for 'practice' measurements at the start of the year. One was 'Zoraks' based on the Space Ghost character and another used the Weezer logo as its symbol. Although neither of those compared to chemistry when we made sandwiches to learn about molarity.

Hmm.
All we did was blow up light bulbs.

And a Battery, but I don't think the teacher found out about that one.

*raises hand* I am guilty of chucking a hot test tube full of black something-oxide solution onto the ground because it was too hot when I picked it up. And I spilt hydrochloric acid onto me the other day. I am a hazard in the science labs.

I've never really worked with dangerous stuff in a science class...the curriculum around here doesn't involve daily explosions in a lab. In ninth grade, we were all doing our final projects, and my group was using a candle as part of the chain reaction thingy (can't remember what the project was actually called...something starting with R?), and we had a golf ball for some reason, so this one guy was holding the lit candle under the golf ball, and the bottom was turning black. Then he held it and said it was nice and warm. That was fun. It turned back to yellow pretty quickly. I don't think the teacher saw us, otherwise he would've busted us for messing with fire.

Nor did mine.
Was never quite able to stop me though

I was actually pre-emptively banned from handling the Acids in College.
Seems they thought I would be a danger to others. And I was so looking forward to permanently scarring someone
(As a Matter of course I have decided to just say when I'm joking now

^ Well er, I set my sleeve on fire.

ive blown up a candle a number of times.
Where i sit in my science class has a permanent scorch mark on the ceiling and on the desk

One time a kid in our Chemistry class left the fume hood open, and we had something like 5M hydrochloric acid in there. After a while, people started complaining about their eyes burning and stuff, and then our teacher figured out what was wrong.

There's no interesting end to that story. That's it

[Phlameseeker]

Haha, i love chemistry lessons. One of the best ones was being told to mix two solutions, and determine the smell of the gas given off. So, with the teacher out of the room at the time, none of us knew what to expect, and we all almost simultaneous sniffed this stuff - seconds later we were yelling in pain as hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in the moisture in our nostrils, forming hydrochloric acid inside our noses hahaha. Good times xD

[jellyoflight]

Hydrochloric Acid is rubbish haha. We poured about 2 and a half bottles of the stuff into a plant once and it took ages just to -begin- to die. Then it came back to life!

As a general rule, anything that can be set on fire WILL be set on fire during my class's chemistry lessons Gosh. We are rebels.

Sounds like you had the low-octane version. I had a towel begin to dissolve in my hands from trying to wipe up some spilled HCl (because I am stupid).

HCl has a high Ka, and is therefore considered a strong acid. When molarity is high enough, it'll start to eat stuff.
