Breaking my QOTW virginity here UPDATED
...so be gentle.
In one summer holiday while doing a maths degree at university, I took it upon myself to make a rug of the Mandelbrot set.
I programmed my BBC B computer to plot the picture, and got it to calculate how many strands of wool of each colour I needed. I then went to the wool shop and befuddled the shop assistant, who's only comment was "There's a lot of black, isn't there?"
I then set about making the rug, based on a printout from the above program.
The rug itself is about a metre square, and I think it contains 10000 strands of wool, which all had to be stitched by hand, using a special hooked tool.
It took about 10 weeks to complete, and I still have it 18 years later.
EDIT: Link to pic, it's a bit fuzzy, because my phone cam is shite

Crushing an egg in your hand by squeezing
This one time, when some eggs had gone past their sell-by date, I attempted to prove or disprove the theory that it is not possible to crush an egg length-ways in your hand by squeezing alone.
After much exertion this appeared to be the case; I could not crush the egg like this, so I then wondered if it was actually possible to crush it width-ways.
For a time it appeared that this wasn't possible either, but then I squeezed just that little bit more, and that extra pressure on the shell must have caused it to crack, and it broke.
Well I say broke, it actually exploded because of the pressure I was exerting on it, and it sprayed all the eggy goodness about 6 feet into the air, all over myself, and all over my good lady wife who was acting the part of an impartial observer to the proceedings.
I was quite unpopular for the rest of the evening.

Percentage abuse
It really annoys me when people say rubbish like "I gave it 110%".
You can't give it more than 100%. Fact.
