Pointless ExperimentsPavlov'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.

Fire - Im gonna teach you to burn...Following on from the usual can of lynx in a bonfire moving up to anti freeze and lighter fuel to see the mushroom explosion left me and my pyro mates a little scientifically frustrated.
Our next experiment was to try and contain part of the explosion using dog poo bins in our local woods/nature reserve. The experiment proved that:
a) the explosion can move "sideways" due to the metal lid suppressing the upward movement of the flame
b) Plastic poo bins melt at the extreme temperatures that newspaper, lighter fuel and dog poo produce - resulting in a wooden stake with a metal lid to nowhere.
We were not satisfied that this experiment should only be carried out once, therefore we ensured full control and evaluation by repeating the experiment until no poo bins remained in the vicinity.
Results - many people had to take poo home with them in the summer of '96

Re dogshit binsA colleague from work lives more or less opposite one of these bins - they live on the edge of a park.
Last November, on the run up to bonfire night, some scallies deposited a moleste amount of fireworks into the bin and buggered off.
Long story short, they had the fairly unpleasant job of cleaning the faeces from the front of the house that were deposited by the resulting explosion.
