[ahecht]

At our final build session at our machinist's house, all work suddenly stopped when an ice cream truck drove by. All of a sudden, we had 10 high school students chasing this poor ice cream truck driver down the street. Many of us dropped out, because we were short of breath from laughing so hard. Finally, after about four blocks, the driver finally saw us and stopped. Ice cream always tastes better when you work for it.

Then, of course, there was the time someone tried to carry a can of oil paint on their head...

Oh, and I've done that thing with the flash too. I was on a school trip in eighth grade, and decided to take the camera apart when all of a sudden, I noticed that I had two small pits in my hand and was curled up in a fetal position on the floor of the bus. I shook it off and continued my work on the camera when I suddenly got shocked again. This time, I didn't black out, and was able to feel the full pain of that AA sized capacitor. I still have the 4 scars to prove it. Those things are dangerous! I recently took another one apart (wearing rubber gloves), and purposely shorted out the cap with a friends metal palm pilot stylus to drain it. Needless to say, there are now two sizable holes in his stylus.
