We burned a stuffed wombat.

It's kindof an interesting story. The week before Nats, a couple of our team members (myself included) went on the school band trip to Cleveland. At the zoo there, one kid, Dave, bought a stuffed wombat.

He decided to bring it to Nationals, where it was stolen every five minutes by a different teammember. On Friday night, one of our remarkably intelligent seniors decided to hide the wombat while we went to dinner. He put it in the lampshade, but then, as he left the room, decided to leave the lights on for security's sake.

When we returned to the hotel, their room and the surrounding area was filled with the lovely scent of melted plastic. Noone knew what it was, though not too long after, we discovered it was the wombat. After some time on the lamp, half the wombat was completely melted away. It looked really weird.

I think that probably qualifies as stupid, considering the hotel could have burned down.
