well i did this on accident, i was out side in my garage building a crossbow like contraption. i was using a nailgun that shoots finish nails. i was holding two small peices of pine together and i shot the gun. i set the nail gun down and was a little confused about how the wood wasn't stuck together. after about 30 seconds of looking around to see where the nail went i realized that was in my left thumb!. apond closer inspction i could see the nail under my fingernail. it went stright down the thumb parallel to it. so i freaked out sent my friends home and ran into the house to give my parents the news. they took me to the hospital to realize that it hardly missed the bone and had it pulled out and only with three stiches.

sorry for al the spelling errors

rna, that reminds me of this one time when we were touring washington, d.c. (usa's capitol) we were walking down this spiral staircase. I didn't know that they were narrower in the middle, so I proceeded to fall, sliding on my butt, all the way down. It was fun :D

The worst one would have to be when I used a whole bottle of propane, the green tank, about 16.4 ounces. Attempted to fire 2 potatoes at once. Could have lost my hand due to the fact that the lantern igniter is in the end cap. Luckily the combustion chamber split open on the side facing away from me.

Congratulation on kicking up a dead topic (yes! I beat spudstuff!)
I find that very hard to believe that you managed to ignite a whole bottle of propane. Unless, of course, you had a HUGE chamber and a monster fan. Oh and pvc doesn't split. it shatters.

Anywhoo, I drank many glasses of punch at this party, and woke up with pretty much a hangover a couple weeks ago.

the dumbest thing (and i mean dumbest thing) ive ever done was about a couple years ago when i put hydrogen and oxygen in a potato cannon (i was drunk and my friends dared me). so i went up to the front door of this asshole (also drug dealer) who lived like four houses down from my friends house and stood like two feet away from the door. knocked figuring that i would wait till he was walking towards the door to fire my cannon and scare him. right when i pulled the trigger there was this massive explosion and the only thing i can remmeber is this huge bang and bright flash, and then the next thing i know im on the ground like five feet from where i was standing bleeding profusly and in pain. one of my friends ran up and dragged me away before the guy who i was shooting at could get up from underneath chunks of his front door to see who had shot at him. my friend had to drag me to his house around the corner (like 200 yards), where i was finally able to see what had happened. i had been impaled by a chunk of pvc in my right thigh which had gone all the way to the bone and a piece of pvc had imbeded itself under my right armpit. fortunanlty neither of the pvc pieces came close to any arteries, so i was able to stitch it up myself and not go to the hosptial. and fortantly cause the guy was a drug dealer, he didn't call the cops. this of course was the last time i ever brought a potato cannon to my friends house, or got drunk and used a potato cannon for that matter.

We know alot more about spudguns than you, a chamber with even a little too much propane won't ignite, and if it does not well. Now if our off by a few percent and it wont shoot, why would it shoot when your off by a hundred percent?

These are the more recent stupid things I've done:

Smoking joint in spray painting booth on nightshift - set paint racks on fire, burnt a lot of hair off, broke 30 000 electrostatic spray paint machine -got workers comp because I said the machine "malfunctioned"

came around hairpin corner in top gear on forklift demolished garage door, which some idiot closed early almost flattened the boss -1st dismissal warning

Got forklift bogged in an old soak well that was filled in, it turned to quicksand because it was raining, the forklift then tipped over breaking an electric fence and damaging forklift -2nd dismissal warning

Me and the welding aprentice made a metal acetylene powered cannon to shoot full 2ltr drink bottles across workshop, underestimated power on first shot, sent everyone around deaf and put a hole in the roof -Final dismissal warning

kicked in a window with no shoes on while smashed- 26 stitches had to take 1 month off work, subsequently lost job

The ones below are things I did when I was a lot younger and stupider obviously don't try them
________________________________________________
Set fire to paper bag filled with shit on someones doorstep (like off Billy madison) except used a can of petrol to "get it going", lit arm and shirt on fire lit front yard of some guys house on fire, got chased by owner of house who turned out to be a coffin cheater (bikie gang) lucky he was fat and I was quick in those days.

Stole a box of flares off a boat threw several smoke flares at a bus full of senior citizens unloading into their retirement village. Shot rocket flare through someones window at night. Put smoke flare though crack in someones car window.

Shot flare with spud gun, went to far landed in bush land, spent 3 hours putting out fire with sand.

Did drive-by spud gun attack on a guys car who called the cops about some of my horticultural activities. Would have got away with it if I hadn't come back later that night and burnt a swastika in his lawn with petrol but got recorded by his sister on her phone. -Probably the most regrettable thing I've done I'm still doing one hour of community service a week...

I've got hundreds more I am a walking disaster
