science
when i was a young un i was fortunate enough to receive a chemistry kit one christmas. yeah, i know. anyway, i started doing some of the experiments and to be honest they were a bit crappy, so i thought i'd move on to some of the more exciting ones, which involved heating things up over the supplied bunsen burner. however, i couldnt be arsed setting it up, so i just put the tripod over one of the gas rings on the cooker and started heating stuff up on there. all went swimmingly, and when it finished heating i turned off the gas, got out my tongs, and removed the container from the top of the tripod. and then transferred it, using the tongs, directly into my other hand. absolute cocking agony. all the skin was hanging off my fingertips. i was not a happy scientist.
