same here. I also used to throw the cat down the stairs, and then it would come up, and then I would throw it down again over and over for about 10 minutes. . the cat wouldnt go near me for the next 2 years.
 
This was back in the 70's... I had a brand new 12" GI Joe with the Kung-Fu grip. Decided to run a piece of kite string from the top of the garage to the ground so my GI Joe could swing down with both hands. Well, he slid about 5 feet before the friction of the string caused his fingers to burn off. Damn, that made me cry. True story.
 
I hope someone reads this, here are a few i remember:

1.Intentionally stuck my finger in the fan at school.
2. tried to jump across my Dad's model airplane but only jumped through it and put a huge hole in the wing
3. Broke our slidding glass door
4. this one is the worst: THREW ONE OF THOOSE BIG GREEN RECYCLING CANS, THE ONES with the foldable top, I was at school on the 3rd floor, picked it up with someone else and dumped it off the balcony. It hit the roof of a bldg on the 1st floor, and paper was everywhere, like confetti. Got suspended.
 
Thought I could swim when I was 3. Jumped into the pool. Result? Parents flipped

Poured gas on the ground in the street with a friend. Lit it up. Hear car comming. Needless to say I think we broke world records that day.

When I was 2-3 years old I someehow opened the fridge and found a opened wine bottle. My mom reminds me of this every time i'm drunk 😀
 
here's something stupid that happened recently.

went to the beach, friend left his car keys in his pocket, jumped into the ocean for a swim.

no more car keys.

searched desperately with party for 2 hours, then some random person found them while we were heading back to the parking lot. had to let the key remote dry off, and he was good to go.

seriously, what are the odds? (of being that stupid, and of finding the keys again after he lost them in the ATLANTIC OCEAN)
 
Threw rocks at cars. Hit a cop car. *whoop whoop* "RUN!!!!"
Used to fill my super soaker with "garbage water" and spray people I didn't like.
Used a rocket ingintion+ 9V on a stack of papers. *FIRE*
Truth or dare when I was like 11 years old, with chicks. All I'm going to say.
I did teh paper clip in the light socket in science, but, knowing i was going to get shocked if i held it, I put it in the edge of a book, and inserted. Commence fire.
Was cleaning the bathroom, sprayed windex on a lightbulb. *Kapow!*
Put oil on a friend's slip 'n slide, and watched him slide right off the end.
Put a dead fish in someones sleeping bag a boy scout camp.
 
Ah, there's something else... I must have seen my dad soldering or something, so I had a rough idea of what the soldering iron did. So while he was at work, I took it out onto the balcony and proceeded to melt holes through the chest of my He-Man and some other action figures.
This was around the same time (age 5-7) I found matches, and they were really cool. So I was building little structures out of them and setting them on fire on the kitchen floor. The jig was up when they come home and saw the obvious scorch marks.
