I'm an expertI spent four years of my life acquiring a PhD. This makes me an expert in the use of transparency in computer interfaces. It's not a hugely useful or interesting expertise, but it's all mine. I'm pretty hot at sitting on the sofa, too.
What are you lot experts in?

CeramicsI'm fairly versed on what NOT to do when making ceramic objects:
If what you're making is solid clay, it will explode in the kiln.
If you don't put in air holes in a thick object, it will explode.
If you put glaze on gray clay before firing it, it will explode.
If you raku-fire (take a glowing-hot object out of the kiln and drop it into a bin full of paper) and the glaze has been on less then 24 hours, it will explode.
Related fire safety (not me, but I was a witness): Be careful getting rid of the burned paper - it can reignite! Do not put burnt paper indoors and definately not in a plastic bin!
If you don't follow the project prompt, your piece exploding will be the least of your worries!
There's probably a lot more that I didn't ask the teacher about and/or he didn't have to yell at me not to do.
