Back when he was about 17, my mate was curious about pasta. He noticed how it behaved in hot water and wondered if it'd do he same in cold water. So he got one of those small plastic foodbags, put some penne in it along with some cold water, tied the top and stuck it out of the way in a desk drawer in his bedroom, the idea being to check on it after a couple of days.

A few months later, he's in his room looking for a pen and opens the drawer, seeing this bag of pasta which smells a bit peculiar. He shut the drawer again with an 'urghh'.

One day, maybe 6 months later, I went back to his house after college as he wanted to show off his latest obscure electronics project. We entered his kitchen and his mum was there washing up. As he was putting the kettle on his mum said, "I tidied your bedroom earlier."
"ok" he replied.
"oh, and by the way, could you kindly not keep bags of sick in your drawer?".
