Unofficial Chemistry experimentsI always learned something in Chemistry. None of it relevant to the curriculum though. These are some of my findings.
1) During an experiment involving electricity, I discovered instead of hooking the wires up to a bulb, you could put both wires against someones arm. Hilarity will, inevitably, ensue.
2) Carbon rods (attached to electrical wires) are even better for administering these electric shocks.
3) The most painful part of the face to attach a crocodile clip to is the eyelid. Don't try it, just take my word for it.
4) If you put a Bunsen Burner in front of a gas tap, and turn the gas tap on, the flame will travel straight towards the gas. Probably not one to try at home, but the (almost) perfectly straight line of flame does look fucking awesome.
No, I never did pass Science.
