What's the worst bit of... mayhem you've accidently caused?
Sat Feb 24, 2007 3:06 am
Like, causing things to explode, catching stuff on fire - but, not on purpose?
This is stemming from my most recent one, where I just almost caught my house on fire and destroyed one of our ceiling fans when I exploded a light. About 5 minutes ago...
I also have a habit of catching the toaster oven on fire when I cook sausage.
Sooo... yup.

why do you use the toaster to cook sausages?

Because that way I don't risk catching the whole oven on fire. Seriously - we've got one of those toaster ovens that's basically a tiny oven, and my parents worry about me and things involving fire. I'm a pyro, it never turns out well. So, they make me use the tiny oven/broiler to cook stuff. It's cheaper to replace.

Some guy on Wikipedia wrote:By comparison, toaster ovens are small electric ovens with a door on one side and a tray within....Toaster ovens are capable of performing most of the functions of ordinary ovens, but on a much smaller scale.
When I was little, I stopped up the plumbing by dropping a toothbrush down the sink. I set things on fire a bit too frequently, and sometimes I hurt people on accident by headbutting them with more force than I intended to use, but most of my mayhem is intentional, so it's more along the lines of "Let's see what happens when I run down the street screaming 'AAUGH! FLESH-EATING ZOMBIES!'" (Not much, but it's quite fun anyway.)

Hmm I've made a few things catch on fire. Including my hair xD
I'm a pyro. Spray + lighter, rubbing alcohol, hands and fire.
Recently I wanted to see what happened if you heated a marble. I wanted to see what the colored swirls were made of. The marble get really hot and I stupidly put water on it. The marble exploded but no one got hurt.
As for mayhem. We had to heat metals up in chemisty class and the teacher was gone but didn't tell us we had to put our metal in water, make it boil and when it boils the metal would be at 100C so we has an exact temperature (or close). so I put my metal over the open fire with a little cup of water under it so I can drop the metal in the water. The metal started melting, The drops of metal went into the water and burnt through the styrophom cup holding the water. The water flooded everywhere and i had nothing to cool down my melting metal. The teacher came back and started laughing. The whole class was in panic xD

Any chance you found out what they were made of? That'd be interesting to know...

My friend built a trebuchet and brought it into school one time. This... excited me. I guess it's not really "accidental", but I was certainly close to causing mayhem. Heehee, firing plastic animals across the room is FUN!

Hmm... well, there's those people I ki-
Err, ignore that. Uh, mayhem? Most of my mayhem comes from the fact that I'm smart: I can convince anyone of anything.
For instance, one of my favorite leads is when someone is eating a kiwi. "Hey," I'll say, "have you ever heard of a Möbius strip?" Then I'll describe a Möbius strip (it's a one-sided, one-edged torus), find a napkin and make one. Of course, I make the truthful part as believeable as possible.
Then, the real fun begins. As I told you, I use it when people are eating kiwis. "The coolest part," I'll say, pointing at the kiwi, "is that sometimes when they slice a kiwi open, the slices sometimes turn out to be Möbius strips themselves! Obviously they can't sell these kiwis at full price - there's only half as much kiwi there! That's why restaraunts always have sliced kiwi, because they're trying to get the cheapest price. Most people don't notice the Möbius strip kiwis, because they don't know about them, and they're not very common, anyway. But I'm sure if you see one now, you'll notice it. Pretty cool, isn't it?"
They generally give me this look:
Guess what? I now have 1000 posts. Yays.

The most Ive done was melted a plastic spatula while trying to cook grilled cheese, and nearly convinced my sister that we built her out of spare robot parts. Im so bad at mayhem.
My oldest little brother is much better. A few years ago when my parents were out, he stopped up the toilet while playing around and then flooded the entire bathroom, along with half of the bedroom next door. He was freaking out, screaming, and crying with handfuls of towels by the time I got there. I had no clue how to stop the water from fountaining out, so we just used up a dozen towels and a ton of toilet paper. Our kitchen is right below the bathroom, and all this toilet water leaked down into the cabinets and onto the counter. Luckily it was just plain toilet water, nothing really icky. I'd never seen a toilet go crazy like that! And to this day, hes afraid to flush it.
He also managed to break our toilet somehow. I dont know what exactly he was doing on it, but he came downstairs one day and simply said the toilet was lopsided, and we should get a new one.

I accidently bit my friend's ear. And drew blood. I was eating a sandwich... well, that's not quite how it happened. But let's leave it there.

I would have thought different coloured bits of glass...

Nothing much, aside from fights between other people and such, leading from mistakes I made. :/
Though yesterday a classmate and I made a sort-of-functional bow and arrow when we were supposed to be measuring things for the set of Arabian Nights.
Then he broke it while trying to shoot another classmate.

When I was a kid, I shot a lightbulb with a water pistol and it exploded and I got scared

Uh...well, there's still a bit of a scorchmark in the break room of a certain Fortune 500 company where I once blew up their microwave. I put an entire pack of Starburst in 'cause it felt too hard through the packaging and I wanted to heat it up before I opened it...yeah, not one of my cleverer moments. In my defense, it was 10 years ago.

I guess when I coloured the house with crayons when I was 3.
