Sod Teddy Bears. This article reminded me of my first childhood DIY
experiments

I had several DIY childhood experiences and the bigger the good hiding
from my parents the more damage I must have caused.

The most memorable experiment was when my brother and I found our Dad's
hammer on the landing and we smashed the bathroom sink into bits to see
how long it would take to smash the sink into bits.

So what DIY experiments did you perform as a child? I know that one
regular poster deliberately electrocuted his sister.

We undertook an experiment in the first floor school science labs to see
if the water or gas supply had the highest pressure by connecting them
together one afternoon. The teacher kept lurking nearby so the supplies
were connect for quite sometime. We only got the real result the next day
when there were no school dinners. The cooks had tried to light the ovens
in the ground floor kitchen only to find that water was coming out of the
burners for some reason!

After that all the rubber hoses on the laboratory sink taps were shortened
so they did not reach the nearby gas taps.

I'll bet the schools caretaker loved you.
