3. No, but I did melt plastic Army men's heads off |
|
but this reveals no latent or deep-seated compulsions regarding the military. Honest.

4. Actually, we were more hi-tech... |
|
We took the transformer out of a BIG neon sign. 25k volts. We grounded one side then built a wooden wand to hold the other conductor. When you brought it down on the art, it was VAPORIZED!
Hey, we were 13!!!

8. I had a lens 9 inches in diameter that could take out 5 ants at a time. |
|
Then suddenly one day I started feeling sorry for the ants and I couldn't bring myself to harm them any more. I was 5 or 6 and I've been a softie ever since.

9. Something similar happened to me |
|
I'd been burning them for a long time and suddenly I realized that I was killing living creatures. I still remember that feeling and my life changed at that moment...

10. I burned EVERYTHING with a magnifying glass. |
|
It's a rite of passage for little boys. When I introduce my boys to it, I'll make sure I give them eye protection. That little bright spot created by the Texas sun burnt little distortions into my vision that I can still see a bit.

. . . unless, of course, you are talking about fire ants; the red imported fire ants. I hate those critters. . . almost as much as I hate B*!

14. No, but I used to stomp on their homes and smush them |
|
That's probably just as bad.
