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.

I built a Lego car
...and used the motor from my sister's tape deck to power it. All was going swimmingly until I decided that it was too slow -- the half-dozen D batteries I had sellotaped into place just weren't providing enough power.
So, I thought, well...it normally runs off the mains doesn't it? The mains cable had two holes, which matched the number of wires coming out of the motor. The solution was obvious!
Bang! It went, right in my face which now -- like a cartoon character after an explosion -- was comically covered in black soot. I was still sat there, staring at it and shaking, twenty minutes later.
