What's something you've done that most people haven't?

that is a legitimate thing you've done that not that many others have done, so yes.

My dad (who, amazingly, was an electrician) used to have an old shaver. It had no plug on it, but he used to jam a pair of scissors into the earth bit and the two loose wires into the other two holes. This was a UK three pin plug socket. I was trying to emulate him and have an electric shave… then BANG.

you're far braver a man than me. as a toddler i was not armed with my full complement of frontal lobes so that is why i did it, then. "it seemed like a good idea at the time." how long did your arm throb afterwards?

Bravery… no. Stupidity… yes.
Can’t remember too much about the effects now, it was so long ago. I have had nerve conduction tests as a result of neurological problems… the electric shocks are extremely unpleasant, no wonder it’s used as a form of torture.

i know this will sound strange to you but for the last 18 months or so i have been subjecting myself to low-current but high-voltage electricity in the form of deliberate close-proximity exposure to tesla coil radiation @ 5000 hz and up. also use a "molecular enhancer" device that exposes me to 500 hz high voltage [low current]. it is an experimental treatment for my various physical ailments and it shows continuing promise in treating them fairly effectively. the inventor [dan dial] says that this exposure will eventually make me resistant to the effects of various kinds of lower current electric shocks as from a taser/stun gun, for example.

Everything you need is in one boat. This was with a now ex-H. Two people. One boat.

I’ve also had a large boa constrictor wrapped over my shoulders.

But I did decline to go into the Komodo dragon pen.

i trust that the boa liked you. you were wise to not unnecessarily risk danger with the dragon.

Interesting. There’s not a lot that sounds strange to me.

When I was a martial artist I got used to being punched in the head. Could be the same thing. But no-one ever punched me outside training… I’d have been ready for ‘em if they did…

Made bombs and nitroglycerine in my youth for the hell of it (never with malice in mind) just to let them off in the countryside like very big fireworks. I was a Hindu monk for a year. I did a parachute jump and can fly a microlight aircraft. I figured out the nature of the universe on my own... a theory now shared by an MIT professor (Max Tegmark). I'm now a practising Zen Buddhist.

oh wow you are making my taste buds water lol.

When I was around 13 years old I got my picture in the local newspaper for winning first place in an art contest where you had to make a poster for dental awareness month.

Although it would have been nice if they hadn't put the picture right next to an Ann Landers article that screamed out the title "AIDS: A MODERN DAY PLAGUE".

^^^wow, you have lived quite a lifetime or several lifetimes within a lifetime so far. it seems like that song "i've never been to me" could describe your life.

Figured out the cause of my own ASD and how to treat it very effectively. 10+ years now w/ some ups and downs, but no severe life limiting symptoms like I had 11 years ago.

put both my hands [level] on a dial tesla coil while it was in operation, it gave me a zap sorta like an old-fashioned joy buzzer.

For a few years things were pretty intense.
Post-trauma and post-strokes, I'm happy to just chill.

I could list a lot more if I put my mind to it:


Sued a major international empire kind of like Erin Brockovich
Yes I won

Was very active in public protests, strikes, and picketing

Was on the news

Published work and did federal research

Organised major exhibitions

Arranged gay hookers for my boyfriend(s)
And watched -- OK not actually my choice ...

Lots of outdoor sex, including in snow banks
Maybe a hospital too

Ran on the Capilano Suspension Bridge when not quite sober:




Rode a Harley on the PCH in California


Changed my first name
And my last name


Rescued my babies from a house with a dead person and a dead dog
With no electricity
After a tornado


Graduated with Firsts


You know, just the normal stuff
