The Stupidest Thing You've Ever Done...
... for instance, when I was in 1st year (i.e. about 11) i participated in induced fainting. This is basically breathing in and out deeply and quickly (this can get you f*cked out of your head as well, incidentally) and getting a trusted friend (one that won't knee you in the balls when you're out cold) to hold the arteries on either side of your neck until you pass out, which typically lasts about 20-30 seconds.

Now, this is stupidly dangerous in itself, but as i keeled over people suddenly realised how heavy i was (6ft tall and 9 stone) and i fell to the ground, knocking my head off the kerb. Apparently my eyes flashed open for a second then i passed out again.

I, on the other hand, was having a nice dream about a ferris wheel that gradually sped up. This was suddenly cut short and a nasty white noise/feedback sound filled my senses. Then, the nightmare beasts from my night terrors appeared, and came at me

I woke up screaming and had to be held down a talked to calmly for five minutes before i regained full consciousness. Even now i get jittery around that feedback type sound, and have regular panic attacks when something in my subconscious memory kicks in. Nasty.
