Once upon a time, well, 9th grade actually, which is 96-97. I was sitting at a lab table in Honor's Science Class. We had a substitute, but unfortunately he knew me well from church. Somebody dared me to take these two mechanical pencil metal clips. I did, one at a time, i responded "nothing is happening". Then i was told, "of course not stupid! you have to make a complete connection!" Well, i took a wooden pencil and touched the two together.
BOOM!
A huge flash of light filled the room. I wasn't hurt or anything, just a little shaken up. Then someone commented, "nice job electroboy". so i guess it stuck
end o' story
