This is a question Pointless Experiments

Pavlov's Frog writes: I once spent 20 minutes with my eyes closed to see what it was like being blind. I smashed my knee on the kitchen cupboard, and decided I'd be better off deaf as you can still watch television.

9v battery absolute stupidity
You put a 9v battery to your tongue. It tingles in a pretty funky way.

I found out when I was about 7 that it's a terrible idea to touch the contacts to your eye.

You will, unsurprisingly, go blind in that eye.

I was SO relieved to wake up the next day and be able to see.

Another stupid thing I did was when I had a really itchy ear. Inside, too far in to scratch with your finger. So you use the nearest small thing don't you? I used an LED.

I lost it, and it stayed in there for literally years, until one day it just fell out. Not sure what caused it to fall out, but I'd forgotten all about it. You can imagine my confusion for a bit, until i remembered...

I also did an experiment to see what kind of food produces the best mould. Boiled potatoes are pretty impressive. A little tea in the bottom of a cup take a while but will eventually turn into a little green disc of mould.

This reminds me of my apple juice
I've got a sealed bottle of apple juice, which I opened and drunk half of once, which is left in my room. I'm cultivating the mould. Which means "How much will it grow if I don't take the lid off."

Not much so far, there's a fluffy thing in the middle though,.

Coffee
I often leave almost empty mugs on windows and rediscover them full to the brim with mould.

cup mould
having just given up sugar but stayed lazy i can tell you unattended nearly empty cups with sugar produce mould more quickly than sugar free ones but the mould looks pretty similar
