Also had this other phase in school:
I'd hang empty drink containers (bottles, cans, those juice things...) from a particular tree. Every time I did it, I'd go just a tad higher than before. Eventually I'd practically started a cult. I'd have like 10 lookouts, calling out in stages to other lookouts, who would then notify me. I'd have people donating their "garbage" on a regular basis. As soon as I got a piece, everyone would fan out, and I'd just stand next to the tree for a second. Then, quick as a flash, I would suddenly leap up to the nearest branch, scramble about 3 metres up, hanging on from a twig reach out to the farthest leaf I could see, and hang the container over the leaf so it barely stayed on. I would then proceed to jump down, straighten myself up, and everyone would come back, pretending nothing had happened.

Best thing was I usually had english next, which was in a classroom with a direct view of the tree. People would say things like "whoa! look at that bottle!" and stuff, and eventually the groundskeepers would come out with their ladder and poles and desperately try and clean their precious tree. And clean it would remain... until the next day. Muahahahaha...

Apologies for relativistic length due to spacetime distortion created by the gravity of these words.
