ABDO-LUTELY HILARIOUS
I built a 250,000 volt Van De Graaf generator for 7th grade Science project. It would throw bolts a foot long!

I was demonstrating it to the class. I was standing on a piece of plywood on top of glass milk bottles, to insulate myself. I leaned over, and put my forehead near the globe, to make all my hair stand on end. The bottle stand started to shake. In fear of falling, I grabbed the nearest object to hand. Ya know those old lab tables, with the gooseneck faucet spout? Yup! Instantly grounded myself. A bolt shot about a foot into the center of my forehead! Didn’t faze me, as I’d already shocked myself dozens of times fooling with that darn thing. But poor Mr. Diuto, the teacher just about had a heart attack!
Got an A for the project, and a week of detention for later hooking it up to the classroom’s door knob!
You certainly have a “stormy” past, Pachy.
At that age I was making lumpy clay models of
my favorite dinosaurs for Science class.
Also at that age, my favorite thing to do was to go down
into my friend Jimmy B’s basement, where his father had a ham radio setup, and put metal wires between the two terminals of a large dry cell battery, “just to watch them burn”.
Years later, you don’t wanna know what I did in Reno......
OMG—can’t stop cackling!
