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.

Physics Lab, 2nd year at university
Me and my equally bored and (proabably) stoned lab partner were carrying out some experiment where tiny currents of electricity were generated by computer to a small output thingy (obviously I never got my degree), the little currents were meant to be measured by an ammeter. Ammeter, power supply what's the difference, they both have a dial right? So instead of measuring minute currents coming from a computer, I sent about 40 V through the computer, completely frying the sh*t out of it. I didn't even realise what I'd done until the lab tech came over in dismay, smoke billowing out of the machine's motherboard / hard drive and such. Sweet.
