Once upon a time....
We had a chemistry lesson back at GCSE where the normal teacher was away and was replaced by some halfwit supply teacher. About half way through the lesson a sudden flash of light from about the 3rd row back and the sound of electricity.

Once the smoke had cleared, we found Calvin with ink all over his face/hands etc, hair all over the place and the rest of the row rolling on the floor laughing.

He'd decided in his wisdom to poke a paperclip into a plug socket (as you do), followed by the cartridge from a pen and various other implements, before flicking the switch and letting hilarity ensue.

Of course the supply teacher hadnt got a clue what had happened so went off to fetch someone else. What followed were 2 bolluckings by first the head of chemistry and then the head of science. Apparently all the lights into the entire school flickered for a few seconds when he flicked the switch as plenty of fuses nearly, er, fused. And then to top it all of a Biology teacher a few days later simultaneously crying (we were a nice group and she couldnt believe we'd do it apparently) and yelling at us for trying to kill ourselves.

Fun times!
