I guess the stupidest thing I ever did was an eighth of an ounce of shrooms that I hadn’t seen anybody else take first. I ended up running naked (and I do mean buck) down a busy street with the police chasing me. I’m not sure why I took off my clothes, it must have seemed like a good idea at the time. I probably would’ve kept up like that for a while but instead I ran full tilt into a brick wall (I was running with my eyes closed) and hit the ground like a sack of potatoes. I guess that’s when the cops finally caught up with me and brought me to the emergency room. I woke up two hours later with a doctor looking down at me and saying “Do you have any idea what happened to you last night?” And I replied “No, do you?” I really didn’t know what happened to me that night. But my friends, and the other five-hundred people who saw what happened, were more than happy to fill in the details. No charges were pressed, thank god. But it was still embaressing as hell, that’s not the kind of thing you want to tell people about. Although apparently I don’t have any problem spilling my guts to thousands of people I don’t know…
I realize that no-one’s posted here in a couple of days, but thought I’d throw my stupidity in the pot (besides, I’m a newbie…I just got here!)
Stupidest thing I EVER did…drunk Hydrochloric Acid when I was 4 years old.
Yup, I’m still paying for that one… :rolleyes:
Whoa. You can’t just drop that on us and walk away. Details, details!
My nose!!! Raisin bran in my nose!
Thanks for that great laugh!

Well, if you look closely, there actually is a pic (not great though) of me there (with hubby). Granted, I’m five years older (and a mother) now, so you’ll just have to use your imagination.
Everytime I talk to this friend of mine, he has a story about something stupid he did.
It’s quite entertaining, really.
In fact, if he weren’t in prison right now, I think I might like to call him.
I’m guessing this is in reference to my post, so here’s the brief version:
When I was 4, I was outside with my ‘big’ brother (he was 6). It was a hot day outside. We were approached by a group of 3 older lads (as in, teen-age types), who, nice kids that they were, asked us if we’d like a drink of water. We both agreed, and my brother, being the kind sort he was, offered me the first drink (they had a plastic juice-jar with them). As I indicated, however, it was not water, but HCl. The next 6 months were very unpleasant…
Anyway, I have no idea where those kids got the stuff, or why they felt it would be such a clever thing to offer it to a couple of little kids, but at least I learned not to trust strangers.
Well, you weren’t stupid, Mauve, just naive, as most people are at that age. I hope those “older kids” ended up in juvie, at least. What they did was not a prank, it was a crime: it could have killed you! What kind of psychos would do that?
Two words: Ammonium Tri-iodide
Mix ammonium hydroxide with Iodine crystals (Both readily available in high school chemistry) filter and dry. Forms a powder that explodes when sharp pressure is applied. Spread the liquid on a sheet of newspaper, ball it up, wrap with duct tape to form a baseball sized ball and let dry over the weekend. Monday morning, have someone toss it to you and hit it with an aluminum bat. The bat was destroyed. Second coolest purple cloud I ever remember seeing.
BTW - don’t spill any on the instructor’s desk and let it dry over the weekend. He might come in Monday morning and slam his books on the desk.
Poof.
Coolest purple cloud I ever saw.
Also made putricine in that class. Main ingredient - sulphur dioxide. They evacuated the school. It took two days to get the smell of rotten eggs out of the building.
Really, it’s amazing that any of us ever live past 25.
