Mine has to be Pasteurization. Originally the dude was just trying to keep his beer from going bad.

Microwave or x-ray.

I mean having a chocolate bar melt and seeing your bones would have to be pretty freaky.

Or the mother of all accidentals - LSD.

You guys are not following protocol, you have to give the original intention of the invention.

How about good ol' fashioned death dealing VX nerve gas?? Originally looked at as an insecticide, it was found to be too toxic to use in that regard, but perfect for killing humans. Scary stuff, for sure!! :shocked:

I found it interesting that for treatment, they first mention how to decontaminate the dead victims of the gas, THEN mention using atropine injection, etc., if you're showing symptoms of exposure. My guess is that the way they portrayed this stuff in "The Rock" wasn't too far off from reality.

And that was mainly brought about by extremely poor lab techniques.

Hey, you grow a lot of bacteria on plates and keep them around for any length of time, you're going to get fungal contamination. It can be pretty dependent on the building/room you work in as well.

For proof, check under the beds of most teenagers (especially boys) anywhere in the USA. :D
