Colin
When I started high school, I was put into "the extension class" along with everyone else who scored high enough on the entrance exam (there were only 6 guys including myself and about 20 girls). One of the other guys in the class was Colin, the teenage anarchist. He used to do things like put Twink down the edge of his shoe and set it on fire during class, as well as being a bit of a cock in the usual way of the alpha male, which led to some awesome displays.

The best occured in science class when we were doing electricity. The teacher had brought in some plugs (as in, the plugs connected to the cord connected to whatever it is you're plugging into a socket) with the intention of teaching us how electricity works by having us put together a plug, but seeing as how Colin was a bit of an amatuer electrician he put it together while the teacher was handing the rest out (he really should've known better than to give Colin the first plug, but that just reflects how crap my school was).

After he had a completed plug, one of the other guys dared him to plug it in, leave it hanging out a bit, turn on the switch and touch the prongs. Colin was never one to say fuck off to a dumb idea, so he did.

BOOM

Sparks exploded out of the socket as the power in the two-class science block (like I said, crap school) went out and Colin began convulsing violently. A myriad of tiny cuts had exploded up his arm and his eyes could only have been described as manic. It took a decent hour before the twitching went away.

All up he did damage worth $2000. And his punishment? He got to skive off class for two weeks as the office runner. Bullshit!

Just a final wee prologue on Colin: Shortly after this he got booted from the extension class and put into one of the "normal" ones. He finally got expelled after he inhaled some of the gas from the LPG tap for the bunsen burners, tried to spit out a fireball by using his lighter and ended up singing off all his hair to about halfway up his head, including eyebrows. The formal was a week later. Needless to say, his photo was hilarious.

I wish I could
Sadly this was back in the late 90s, before they started putting cameras in anything. I might've been able to get a copy back then, but I didn't have the foresight to realise that I might want to post it online one day. Teenagers, they're so bloody ignorant!

I knew someone
who did the firebreathing thing.

They just scorched the back of their throat, and mildly singed their eyebrows.

The solution? Next time they wore lab goggles.
