'Appy Days

[ComradeBadger]

I was on the phone to one of my closest mates the other day, one I havn't seen for ages, and it got me thinking, of happy days spent pissing about in History, Graphics and Art 3d.... with results day imminent, I'm wondering what was worth it... most likely not getting A*s or times like these:

We had to make 'shanty houses' in Year 9 Geography, and since no-one could actually be a*sed, we all made total cr*p, so near the end of the year, me and my best mate, we invented a game called 'Shanty Bowl' where the objective was to wreck as many shanty houses as possible by one person holding a shanty house as a bat, and the bowler throsw another shanty house at you and you hit it as far as possible. Right, and then there are the 'catchers', whose aim is to whack the shanty houses back to the bowler .... as you can imagine, we wreacked havoc... and I would like to point out, most of the people's houses we smashed were actually playing the game

Class: Art 3d
Time: Post Mock Exam
My art teacher (shes great ... cheers Mrs Fernside, for all you've done :E ) was telling me off for some reason when I pointed behind her, and exclaimed "look! Over there" she looked, and I ran away

Year 11 art trip, me and loz decide we should mess about and generally freak out 'Joe Public'... so we all did dare style things ... Max became a 1-man conga line through a huge room full of people... other Max followed this guy around the Tate modern for an hour... was funny, but what me and Loz did was the funniest though ... heres what we did:

There was a woman sitting down, sketching a painting, and I went one side of her, and loz went the other. We stood there, looking at the painting, then suddenly, We both took our shoes off, and put them beside us. This got us a wierd look from the woman, and passers by. Then, we both took our socks off, again, a wierd look. We stood there admireing the painting. Loz was wearing a jacket, and I was wearing a long sleeved t-shirt, and we both took them off, and threw them over our shoulders and walked off... leaving one very confused woman ...

These are the things I found funny at the time, and I hope you find em funny now

i have no idea what u r talking about, hmm maybe cuz i just woke up :dozey:

Well, I've done things like this....here we go:
Last day of year 9 I came into school in a Dress and make-up to see if they'd send me home..... They didn't I had to spend all day in it

and really thats the only one I can talk about without getting the thread deleted, so I'll leave it at that....

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Stone is there something you arent telling us?...Well obviously there is because you said you wouldnt tell us other things. But i mean about the wearing a dress and stuff.

I love mixing it up, we always go around college and Hyde (where my collage is) doing it. Thats the main reason i got such poor results...Anyway. Im just trying to think of something, but there isnt much i can remember off hand, perhaps in a couple of hours once my brain has had chance to process it all. Something that happened recently...Hmm...I know. The golfcourse...oh the fun ive had there. You get some right posh...people on there. They always try to run you over when you cross the road, so we decided to annoy them on the golf course. So anyway, we just generally mess around on there. Doing the jackass thing with the horn is great. We also tried the ice block where you slide down the farway....that hurts. Anyway. Il try to think of something.

Like one time in Science, the teacher was demonstrating something with Oxegen. He brings out the tank and gets some... iron, I think, in some test tubes. Then he pumps some of the oxygen into test tubes... hmm it's not goin too well, he puts in some more. I think this was the pop test, you put a flame over it and it goes pop! Anyway he puts a flame over it and it goes BOOOM and these flames go up and the teacher falls on his back

Seems he had hydrogen gas instead of oxygen

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Haha. That reminds me of a few lessons we had.

The first memory isn't part of the lesson but just us messing about. You know deodorant burns right? Well we were playing around with it, spraying it on our hands and setting them on fire...as you do .
Anyway, so my friend decided it would be fun to fill the lid up. , he got to about half way and though that would be enough. Let me tell you...when he lit it it singed the eyebrows of people sat 4 chairs away. All my arm hairs and my eyebrows were singed, it smelt horrible because of the burnt hair and my friend had all singed hair but he hid it with gel. He dropped it after the huge fireball it fell in his bag, and he had all this lit deodorant flowing along is bag and the table. It looked cool watching the fire flow like liquid, but it quickly burnt off and it was ok. Anyway, because it was just deodorant it didn't make much noise when it exploded out...it was a very big explosion...anyway, the teacher was actually looking at us when it went up, but i think (as human brains are so amazing at) her brain kind of blocked out this silent fireball that filled the back of the class room. I mean, its not something that happens everyday.

There was another time, when the teacher (a different one) was showing us Magnesium i think. He decided to show us what happened when it was burnt, it goes all bright and stuff and it was fun, but then he threw the whole thing on (about the size of a fist) and it was one of the brightest lights Ive ever seen. The whole room was filled with this yellow smoke and we all had to run out, it took about an hour, even with an extractor fan for the smoke to clear.

Another explosive lesson we had, in year 10 actually. We were using some metal in an experiment, one of the ones that doesn't react to well to water...or rather, it reacts very well, more than you might want. Anyway, the teacher was showing us a little bit of it in a bowl of water at the front. Its cool just watching it roll around as it reacts. Then a little later in the lesson one of my class mates (hes a bit dim to be honest) decided it would be a great idea to throw a big lump of it in the bowl. So he did.....The bowl exploded along with the back of a chair that was near it and several bits of paper work on the desk.

The last, and probably the most boring was when someone thought it would be fun to put a paper-clip in a plug socket. They turned it off, shoved the paper clip and then turned it on. It went all bright and then just melted, ruining the socket. Looked nice though.

 

[Stone]

lol, one of my science teachers did something like that, he was showing us the power of magnesium, and dropping little bits into the water, he lost his grip of the thing dropping it in, and set his tie alight...

The same teacher, the next week, set his whole head on fire and didn't realise, he was playing with how big he could get the flame on his bunsen burner...he was an idiot who tried to be one of the the kids...but it was funny, espc when someone pointed it out to him, and he was running around patting his head :flame:

Thinking about Stone's cross dressing antics reminded me of the time when I borrowed Loz's coat and pink hat (now Loz's coat is really tight fitting)... and its funny cos all the lower years are really homophobic, so I wandered around like that for ages, scaring people.

Me and my mate Jake became the only pupils in school history to melt a boiling tube so it went nearly liquid. We left it on in the hottest part of the flame in a bunsen on maximum burning power... for 50 minutes.... we made it slag

These two things are the reasons why my friend Joe refuses to even sit near me in chemistry:
It is a habit of mine to make bonfires out of bits of paper, and wood and stuff, and soak them with petroleum and parafin... I was happily burning away my bonfire . But then my teacher was coming and I needed to put it out, so I grabbed a beaker of what I thought was water, but turned out to be parafin. There is still a burn hole in the ceiling from that one.

Theres plenty more stories where that came from

My funniest/scariest science lessons -

In year 8 once we were burning crisps to see how much energy is in them. My mate just started to burn one and then i turned on the tap to put it out. It was quite a greasy crisp and the result was a 50cm high flame that nearly set me alight. w00t!

3 things this year in Chemistry

- Doing some stuff with carbonyl compounds and we were seeing what happened when we added stuff to them. One of the things was sodium. It said in the book to use a very small amount. So my friend gets an absolutely huge chunk and lobs it in, the result of that was a volcano type spitting, followed by a lot of smoke and spitting then a nice burst of fire (like a jet engine) then a huge splatter

- I managed to snap the bottom off one of these and they are about £50 a pop. Its not advisable to do that when it is full of potassium permanganate solution, it stains things....

- The most scared i have ever been in chemistry was just before the summer hols. We were attempting to make nitro-toluene (not tri-nitro-tolune - the intitial letters are TNT ) and it wasnt the best time to make it on a hot summers day. Anyhoo that wasnt the scary part. It was the other reagents: conc. sulphuric and nitric acid. We all thought yeah whatever we've used acids before. But this stuff was shit scary - my friend dropped a measuring cylinder with sulphuric acid in and it hit the floor and proceeded to strip it away. It was a tile-like floor. Unfortunately my friend also spilled some on his lab coat. It ate through that (which is relatively thick), his t-shirt and proceeded to burn him. My bag also got the colour drained out of it by splatters of the acid. We carried on, literally all of us shit-scared and then i saw something that worried me - the beaker and thermometer were begining to smoke from the combination of the acids. Then we had to clean up, and there was acid and water everywhere. They are all colourless so it was pretty funny to be wiping up with a paper towel and have it burn away as you wipe.

See how always happens to my friends, i really should stop hanging around with them

I remeber in science, in year 7 or 8, when the entire year went to france for the day. I didnt go because I'd been to france before, and couldnt be bothered to go again.
Anyway, there was like 6 of us in this science lesson, and we were makin fireworks. You know, when you get a bunsen burner, and drop metals into the flame, and they spark in really groovy colours.
Anyway, my partner was an idiot, and he was wavin paper right near the flame (not on purpose) and I thought he was gonna start a fire. So me being safe and all, I pushed the bunsen out of his reach.
I happend to push it againts a wall, which had a lovley paper display on it...neadless to say, the whole wall was up in flames in less then 5 seconds.
So when I noticed this fire, I just shouted 'SIR!' and he looked out his office, saw the fire, and pegged it for the fire extinguisher. By now, everyone noticed it, and the girls were screamin there heads off.What made it worse was the fact that the teacher couldnt get the fire extinguisher to work at first....this made the girls scream even more. But he got it to work, and put the now ruined display out.
I didnt get in trouble or anything, which was nice. But it was damn funny tho.
