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.

Layin' Down Some Wikkid Beats
When I was very young, I had a record player. For younger readers, this was what we had before CDs - it consisted of a platter of vinyl with grooves in it, and a needle to pick up the sounds. No really, I am not making this up.

Anyway, as a four-year old I was fascinated by this thing. The record had grooves. A needle went round the grooves. Sound came out. Obvious logical conclusion - if I made my own grooves - perhaps with a nail - I could make my own records!

However, I didn't want to test my theory on one of my own records, so I took one of my dad's.

I was 10 before I got the record player back.

theyre also good for spinning hamsters on
after about 30 seconds youtake it off and the hamster doesnt move but slightly leans to one side shaking.

once he was back to normal, i would repeat the whole process again.

i always wondered why he bit me alot.

Strangely..

When I was a child I loved listening to my dad's records, that is, until the needle broke :(

I did find a limited means around this somewhat; I found (I really can't remember how) that if you chewed a fingernail so that you had most of it hanging off, then put the nail down into the groove on the record while it was spinning you could hear the music vibrating through your nail.


..What?

@ Dan dan etc.
That sounds hilarious. Slightly cruel, but hilarious nontheless.
