OK...I know it's an old post, but just too good not to add my two cents of mayhem and idiocy as a kid... It was one of those typical summer days with not much to do. Only my mother was home cleaning the house or something. I was about ten at the time. I took the milk jug out of the fridge, which was mostly empty, and dumped it straight down the drain. Rinsed it out, and then poured in about 1" of rubbing alcohol. Took the cord off an old lamp and split the two wires apart, bending down one strand of copper from each side, and twisting them together to form a single strand connection between the two sides of the cord. Funny how that single strand fit nicely right over a notched match head. Taped the wire and wooden part of the match together, and had a nice little fuse. Well, somehow that fuse found it's way down through the cap of the milk jug so it was hanging in the middle...not touching anything. Seemed like a good idea to me to duct tape the shit out of the top of that jug. after connecting that lamp cord to an extension cord and running it out 50' into the driveway, I gave that jug a swirl to coat the sites with alcohol. Set it down....went into the garage and plugged that sucker in. Holy Shit! At that point it was the loudest bang I'd ever heard. In addition, for some reason, there was no power in the garage, or the kitchen! Blew that breaker straight. I was always one to tinker with motors and machines and such, so when my mom came blasting into the garage to see WTF was going on, I made up some lame excuse about making a little machine that blew. She bought it. Damn I hope I'm not that dumb with my kids.
