Slightly more interesting than most and from numerous people:

Post 3 things you've done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done.

1. Bred more than a hundred baby corn snakes.

2. Accidentally blown up a vaccuum cleaner by filling it with natural gas.

3. Survived a mains electric shock in my bath.

Man I wish my teachers were as engaging and interesting as you appear to be when I was back in school. I blew up a lawn mower once, but never a vaccum cleaner.

Ow. Um, no. Not I. When I was little I did stick my finger in an electric socket by accident trying to unplug a vacuum.

Why did you fill a vacuum cleaner with natural gas?

Other than the baby corn snakes one it reads like an episode of 'Mythbusters'.

This was more an electric water heater malfunction combined with defective earthing.

Well, I do seem to be blowing things up at work a bit lately, as it happens. See my post re flour explosions yesterday.

As it happens I got home to find that there had been a snakey happy event and I now have 11 eggs to incubate.

1. Climed out of my bedroom window onto adjacent roof and then climbed back in and told my parents. In my defense, I was 10 at the time.

2. Not eaten for 4 days.
