10 Things I've Done [that you probably haven't] Meme

[frobzwiththingz]

This is kind of hard; in this crowd i've got to dip into some of The Stupid Things to make 10.

1) broke someones tooth with an errant juggling club pass

2) built and administered an oxygen tent for a hamster

3) rappelled 50' out of a stuck ski lift using an "emergency bailout kit" i had constructed for just such a situation

4) stood on the Third Rail and a ground rail to demonstrate that rubber really is an insulator

5) played for roughly 48 hrs continuously in a 72-hour for-charity volleyball marathon

6) won the western PA regional Rubiks Cube championship

7) accidentally drank theatrical fireproofing

8) consumed 50% of the LD50 of caffeine in one evening

9) made butter by putting heavy whipping cream in a jar and shaking it by hand for about an hour

10) chimneyed up the side of the MIT Green Building without a belay.

Just what *is* the LD50 of caffeine,anyway? And in what form-factor did you consume it?

[frobzwiththingz.livejournal.com]

roughly 150mg/kg is the estimated figure for people. It was in liquid form, Espresso, about 1.5 quarts of it. (my digestion wasn't the same for the next several days)

1) broke someones tooth with an errant juggling club pass

Oof. That reminds me that I accidentally fractured a classmate's jaw with a golf club in 5th grade gym class. She was standing too close when I swung the club. Ow.

We were sitting there in the Top of the Hub eating dinner Sunday, and looking out across the river at the Green Building, and I thought of you.
