Accidental animal crueltyI once invented a brilliant game - I'd sit at the top of the stairs and throw cat biscuits to the bottom. My cat would eat them, then I'd shake the box, and he would run up the stairs for more biscuits. Then - of course - I'd throw a biscuit back down to the bottom. I kept this going for about half an hour, amused at my little game, and all was fine until the cat vomited. I felt absolutely dreadful.
Have you accidentally been cruel to an animal?
This question has been revived from way, way, way back on the b3ta messageboard when it was all fields round here.

.Yes, it's true, but liquid nitrogen is never going to work - far too cold. Freezer cold is good. There's an old street-magic trick using the principle that I've seen first-hand and always wanted to do. Freak-out a few religious types with etc.
- Catch a fly without harming it, covering it in flypaper-type shit or anything that would be obvious (how the fuck you're supposed to do that I don't know).
- Put it in a box, put the box in the freezer for an hour or so (exactly how long I'm unsure of, I imagine it might need to be a fairly specific length of time)
- Take the box out, deposit the fly upside down on a window ledge.
- Go get your mark, show them the 'dead' fly and say "watch this"
- Show them that you have no live flies up your sleeves, pick up the 'dead' one, put it in the palm of your hand and start commanding it to live again, chanting, etc.
- The heat from your hand will take about a minute or so to warm it through, at which point it'll freak out and fly off (rightly so!)
- Voila, you have the power to resurect the dead.
