I learned science the hard way today.

[Jessweeee♪]

So Mogi and I invited a couple of friends to our house and one of them collects torch lighters and likes to ruin pennies with them. He was heating one up so hot it was glowing red and then our other friend ♪TJ Gaga♪ was like "OMG LET'S PUT AN ICE CUBE ON THE PENNY" and we all know weird trout happens when you put super hot things on super cold things so Mogi and I were like "yeeeaaah that'll be so cooooool" Except we were doing this on a glass table outside. So the ice cube cracked and fizzled and melted about halfway and then it got quiet, and we were like "awww that's it?" And then CRACK the table top just broke into a million pieces and fell. It went from totally fine to in shambles in less than a second. So now I gotta call my parents and tell them it broke and find out what kind of table they want us to replace it with. We also need to come up with a reason for why it's our fault without telling them we did something stupid that would make them think that maybe they shouldn't be renting the house out to us, because we can't let them pay for it after we did something that dumb, and sober at that

ITT: We discuss things we broke in a stupid way.

I've never said this publicly but the reason I'm so good at computers was because I kept deleting everything on the old 486s to 'free up space' and always deleted my dad's work documents.

This continued up to windows 95. I'm pretty shocked he was able to stay in business with constantly data going missing. Hell I think I did it again this year, which was just inexcusable.

As for breaking my own stuff, I will just completely smash up things I own when they malfunction, with the intention of buying new stuff. Sadly sometimes I break things that don't need to be broken (like my expensive wireless speakers - turns out my pc was on 'mute')

That was a good day.

(SPOILER)THAT SOUNDS AWESOME

[Jessweeee♪]

Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Except it's my parents' table so I feel bad about it xD

[Shlup]

I was going to post the same thing as Pike.

If you're ever in a riot and want to go looting, please bring pennies and ice instead of a baseball bat.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I melted a penny the other day with some MAPP gas, squeezed it in a vice, and splashed the zinc onto a styrofoam peanut........not as cool but amusing.

When I was little (6 or 7) I had a styrofoam airplane. It was plain ol' white styrofoam. "It sure would look a lot cooler if it was red or yellow.", thought 7 year old me.

That's the day I learned spray paint melts styrofoam. Lame.

Jesse, remind me to teach you about material science some time.

Remember "add acid to water"? Same idea.

[Mirage]

that sounds totally awesome jessweee and i wish there was a video of it i could watch

[Jiro]

I just wouldn't tell them and would replace it just before they came home and say that a gypsy stole the table.

I learn lots of hard lessons about gravity. I've broken a lot of things by climbing on them, not least of which was an expensive motorcycle. Also "those in glass houses should not throw stones" right? I live in Glass House Mountains; throwing stones has been quite eventful.

I was there... It was the most awesome thing ever!!! Scary, but awesome.

Anywho, related to the ITT, I got frustrated with my first laptop and I punched the screen and broke it. -__-

Yeah glass does weird things. I was melting some army men once and one of the jeeps caught fire so I watched it burn and melt. I was doing this in a glass ashtray because hey ashtray = fags and fags = fire must be safe right?

The ashtray goddamn exploded into pieces and I had to put out two fires that resulted.

I have been terrified of making glass hot ever since.

That sounds even cooler than the table.

How does that even happen

[Jiro]

What do you expect when you attack soldiers with fire? They attack back! With more fire!

[NorthernChaosGod]

Fight fire with fire!
