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.

Paperweight vs. childA much younger and less wise Photon once decided to see whether he could throw a stone paperweight from one hand to the other, with his arms outstretched. The result: I probably could have, but I failed to factor in one obstacle to the paperweight's flight - my head.
The paperweight, being about the size of a grapefruit, and carved into an interesting geometric shape, was as a result quite weighty, and had a lot of sharp edges - one of which connected perfectly with a minor artery in my temple.
"Mum, I think I need to go to the hospital please!", I yelled down the stairs. "Oh, and I'm really sorry about the carpet. And the duvet. And the wallpaper."
Bled like a bastard for a few minutes, and then just stopped, and by the time I'd been seen by a nurse, there was barely anything to see. Didn't even stitches - I was so disappointed.
