    We've all had the drunken-idea-that-seemed-brilliant-at-the-time moment. Fortunately, when I had them I was generally far too drunk to stand, much less carry them out. :laugh:

    I got a drunk friend to agree to train ninja monkeys for me in my world domination schemes. She even signed a contract for it. The look on her face when I showed her the paper a week later was priceless. "WTF?! Okay, that's my drunk signature... You know, if I was stupid and drunk enough to agree to this, you probably could have gotten my pants off... Heck, I've shown people my piercings when less drunk." That was the day I learned that having fun always has a cost associated with it. :((

      He doesn't have to. The local taxi company has DD's drinking schedule distributed amongst all drivers during the morning meeting. It wouldn't surprise me if it came accompanied with a CCC for good measure. //L

        Help pass the winter time blues with "a motorcycle muffler, a piece of pipe, gunpowder, match heads and gasoline"[^] Sounds like fun to talk about, maybe not implement :)

        ....and he's in hospital....so he should look at other ways to pass time on a cold winter day.

        Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
        Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

            Some of the related stories at the bottom of the link.

            Illinois bright spark sparks car inferno (2 September 2009) Dallas man accidentally shoots self in head (28 January 2008) US man blasts stubborn wheelnut with shotgun.

            ; Always makes me think of the phrase "You might be an alcoholic if..." :-D

              Alcohol wasn't involved, but only senioritis probably kept me and a few of my HS classmates from blowing ourselves up trying to make a liquid fueled rocket. Last year's class had demonstrated that with enough and big enough model rocket engines you can get a man tall chunk of carpet tubing to fly as high as a little kit rocket. It will also compress by at least 10% length wise if it hits something hard enough. We wanted to have a trophy of our own in the back of the physics room for posterity.

                He should have tried it downhill instead of uphill first to get a hang of it ;)

                    I have to disagree. You made gun power. We were too mired in apathy to go beyond talking about it.

                      I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that this is obviously a Darwin Award in the making.
