    When I was young lad I set my microwave on fire. Thought at the time that putting chocolate powder in for a minute would melt it, I was wrong.

    I know a Boards member who decided to pour a couple of litres of oil into a car engine, ended up destroying it.

    What is the most expensive item you've ruined?

    One day as a kid my Atari 2600 stopped working, wouldn't turn on. I guessed at the time that it might have been a problem with the power adaptor, so I went to the kitchen, got a scissors and cut off the power block that normally would have been inserted into the electrical socket. Luckily it was a socket with a power switch. I flipped the switch, exposed the wires on what remained of the power cable, inserted the scissors into the earth part of the socket and stuck the wires in. Flipped the switch and I can't remember if the party happened then or after I tried to turn on the Atari 2600. Nice big flash, a bang and some smoke. And that was the end of my 2600 :(

    I put milk in the kettle when I was 10. Wanted to make Ready Brek for myself - milk was fine & worked great - kettle wasn't.

    Lots of birds and large blocks of concrete that were being used to protect pigs. Oh yeah, and I destroyed some of the pigs to.

    Used to know a man who:

    tipped over a forklift

    wrote off a van by driving it into a ditch

    almost wrote off another van by running a red light resulting in a car crashing into the side of it

    crashed a van into a wall

    drove off in a truck while it was still being refuelled resulting in the diesel pump being ripped out of the ground.

    ripped down a set of curtains

    Will I name him? I WON'T!!

    I switched the voltage on the back of a computer once, it wouldn't turn on so I thought that might help. It made a big bang, a lot fo smoke came out and it never worked again. Now I know about electricity though, so it was a learning experience.

    When I was about 5 I had a remote controlled car with a wire to the remote. I cut the wire so I could make it go further. Then cried until my Mum managed to make it work again, no idea how.

    I dropped a weight on my laptop and smashed the screen, credit card insurance paid to fix it though.

    I also spilled milk on the keyboard of said laptop and had to just buy a new one at that point.

    At about age 8 I managed to pull a sink off a wall, it landed on me pretty hard.

    I'm sure there are more, I'm pretty accident prone.

    Remember the cartridges for the commodore 64 had a sticker on them saying do not remove from the computer when it's turned on? They didn't put them on for the sake of it. I was heart broken. I'd just bought airbourne ranger too.
