As a kid, I liked licking popsicles and licking 9 volt batteries. This was just a combination of the two. Considering what a misplaced decimal could do, I reccomend not conducting electrical experiments that involve your genitals. ---

Always look in every barrel, every crate, every dark corner, and explore every apparent dead end thoroughly. Click on the critters 20 times or so and they explode. (I’d say 10 points for guessing the reference, but anybody who has a vague idea where my screenname comes from should be able to guess). THERE IS NO COW LEVEL. Except in the sequel. If you think there might be ammonia in the test tube, don’t take a big whiff. Never be the last one in your organic chem lab group to leave - you’ll be stuck with cleaning the glassware. ---

Don’t sleep in the subway, darling. Don’t stand in the pouring rain, Don’t shave with a ginsu knife, Don’t wash your face with clorox. and most importantly… Read the entire thread before posting a joke so you don’t look like a doofus repeating something from 3 pages earlier… and _finally…_ always wear sunscreen. 😃 ---
