On a trivial note; there was the time I tried to cut a bagel a la the three stooges. Here's how to recreate the moment.
1) Stand bagel on end.
2) Insert thumb into hole for stability.
3) Slice with vigor.
It took me a full pass across my thumb before I realized what I was doing. Interestingly, the pain didn't come until after that.
Also, there was the time I tried to make Caramel Corn. The recipe for Caramel was very simple. A 1/4 cup of this, a 1/4 cup of that, and a 1/4 teaspoon of salt. I put in a 1/4 CUP of salt! The result was a molten lava of salty goo that defied disposal. I poured it into a plastic bag only to have it melt through. Then the remains in the pot hardened to a high gloss shellac and took forever to clean.
