This is a question Pointless Experiments

Pavlov's Frog writes: I once spent 20 minutes with my eyes closed to see what it was like being blind. I smashed my knee on the kitchen cupboard, and decided I'd be better off deaf as you can still watch television.

I was once experimenting with fuel at the age of 10.
it was in a small can, I wanted to see how it would burn if a lit match was thrown against it.
The fuel was in a small 500ml can with a screw top lid. The plan was to drop a lit match in through the top and wait.
I unscrewed the top, looked down at the fuel brought the lit match over the opening, (At this point I discovered "fuel vapour"), and a jet of flames shot out from the top.
Considering I was looking down the top of the can at the time, I lost both eyebrows, and I now had a very wide centre parting.
I decided never to repeat that experiment.
