'Water babies'
My good friend Darren used to work in a lab and as a result he would often steal borrow various bits and bring them home to play with.

One time this included a box of lab-standard white rubber gloves, which had a certain elasticity to them. There were literally dozens of pairs of them, so we decided to find a use for them and not in a gay kinky way either.

So we invented 'water babies'.

Basically a 'water baby' was a lab-glove filled with a lot of water (and its volume capacity was quite epic) and for the finishing touch we would place an egg inside as a kind of bizarre nucleus. We would then tie the end of the glove up, place these 'water babies' in a strong re-usable carrier bag (the tough ones) and between the pair of us, we would carry it down the street to a random location and let the mayhem ensue. They were, as you can probably imagine - quite heavy and large.

We would remove the 'water baby' from the carrier bag and leave it on someone's doorstep in the same way a disgruntled new mother would leave a real baby outside an orphanage. We would then ring the doorbell and run and hide behind a car or in an alleyway and watch the reaction of who ever came outside to answer the door.

This made us both giggle like twats, especially when the bemused person would stand confused, wondering what the hell this large, almost spherical alien looking thing was, that had knocked on their door.

Better than that though, was the time we rolled a 'water baby' into a pub where it burst, splashing unsuspecting boozers with a hearty amount of water and sending the egg skidding across the tiles....

Great days.
