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.

Double Glazing...
This is also my earliest memory.

When i was a young lad, i think about 5 or 6, i used to live in a big old house. Now this is about, 15 years ago. We had that old style of clip-on double glazing.
Anyway, one time my mum was in the shower, and i took this opportunity to go into my room, climb onto my bed and unclip the double glazing.
Nevertheless, it started to fall slightly. Fortunately, i caught the pane of glass and just about managed to hold it in place while screaming for my mum.

As mentioned before, she was in the shower and unable to help me. So i thought that if i timed it well enough, i could let go of the pane of glass, and jump off my bed and be out the way before it collapsed on me.

I couldn't.

Ended up in A&E with severe lacerations all over my body. Haha, idiot.

Not in any way pointless , but an experiment all the same.
