» Pointless Experiments

I was probably destined to become a scientist
You know the story about 'your eyes shut when you sneeze because if they didn't yor eyes would be forced from their sockets'?

It is a lie. Conclusively proven by a disbelieving 6 or 7 year old me with the help some gaffer tape and pepper (and at the price of some sections of eyebrow). The disappointment of finding out that not everything you are told can be taken at face value is still palpable.

Crivvens knows what I'd have done had it proved true.
