We cannot allow our children to be corrupted! (http://www.canada.com/topics/technology/story.html?id=af6dca12-5124-446f-bd61-0deb8305ff30)

And many of us Canadians pride ourselves on being slightly brighter than our southern neighbours too. This is terribly embarassing.

I remember dumbasses doing something similar 20 years ago when I was in jr high.  I don't remember what they used, but it was alcohol-based as well (Probably hairspray/ cologne).  They'd drench hands/ arms in the stuff then set it on fire and shake it out.  In retrospect it was insanely stupid but at 12-14 during those pyromaniac years boys seem to go through it was pretty damn cool.

Yeah.  We did the same thing years ago at that stupid age as well (setting things afire using various starting fluids of sorts).  It was only a matter of time before some moron set himself on fire and it went out of control.  It happened then too as I recall.

All I saw was "WINDSOR, ONT" and knew why. There's not a fucking thing to do in Windsor. It was inevitable and not to mention there's probably 20 videos of stateside people doing this for the 1 that we have.

Windsor is across from Detroit.

It is the least Canadian of all Canadian cities.

Looks like if you're one of the Canucks who doesn't make it his hobby to discuss US Politics with anybody who will listen to you for more than 5 seconds, this is what you are left with to occupy your time.

It's what happens when there's no Hockey Night in Canada on during the summer.

1 MORE DAY! 1 MORE FUCKING DAY AND IT'S BACK!

Need more Grapes.

Kids did this 20 years ago when I was in my teens, with deodarants (spray and stick) and whatever else had alcohol in it. This isn't something new.

Shit, I did this with gasoline.  What's the fuss?

Man this reminds me of this game kids would play at my elementary and middle school, they would breath really deep for like 20 counts then another kid would press their chest really hard and the kid would pass out. it was dumb. Some kid passed out for a long while one time  and people were freaked out. My school had some sort of flier that went around talking about how stupid and dangerous it was to do that.

Oh, yeah, there was one girl who passed out from inhaling helium from a balloon and hit her head on the wall.  We all though it was kinda funny, especially since she woke up.  Then there was the kid who ate a live giant moth.  High school... glad I'm outta there!

... what I am wondering is why all of you guys used substances "with alcohol in it"?  We just used rubbing alcohol and it worked like a charm.  Heck the stuff basically dries off your hand before you can set it on fire.  I am pretty sure I learned it from my science teacher come to think about it.

My favourite "stupid things you did as a kid" was passing out from pushing blood into my head. Yes it's as dumb as it sounds. We were in art class and bored so I told everyone at my table to look at my face while I turned it red and then purple by pushing blood up into it. Normally I stopped and felt light-headed for a few moments but this time I just blacked out and was unconscious for about 30 seconds. Apparently it was quite scary for my friends.

We used to do the sleeper hold on people until some kid almost went into a brief coma. Oh, and the bigger kids used to pick up the smaller kids by the sides of their heads.

So I am the only one that just went to school, learned things, and went back home? Without violence, cruelty or mayhem of any kind?

Magic 8 Ball says, "Sources Point To Yes."

Home schooled?

My brother and I used to douse our race tracks in Brut cologne so when the cars went whipping down the tracks sparking they'd send up columns of fire after them.

Yeah, our race tracks didn't last too long.

I'd like to know how you managed this, and what your interpersonal skills are like.

Don't know, it must be an European thing I guess. I honestly always thought that kind of behavior in schools is made up for the benefit of teen movies and sitcoms.

No.

No wonder you are armed to the teeth as adults. I guess I would be as well.

Weren't you... bored?

Only in the breaks between classes. And luckily a dweeb like myself had enough to do then. You know, stuff that gets you stuffed into a locker at a proper school.

I am sure they smelled dead sexy, however.

Having spent a year listening to school stories by drunken British, French, Spanish, and Norwegian classmates, I can assure you that it is most defiantly not a European thing ;).

Not sure that's it, my wife went to a private school and had six girls in her graduating class.  She currently owns a .22 rifle, a 9mm Glock and some sort of small-gauge shotgun.

*raises hand*

Well maybe random mayhem, but not directed at my fellow students though. Administrators would duck into offices sometimes when they saw me walking down the hall with a handful of papers though...

Having gone to jr. high with British, Spanish, Norwegian, Dutch and French kids, I can assure you that its most definately not a European thing. In fact, the American kids, myself excluded, stayed the fuck away from us. My favorite memory is of locking up the police in an abandoned mansion they'd chased us into. We jumped off the 2nd story balcony onto a tree, then turned around and barred the front door with a steel rod. That, and putting 'truenos' (m-80 firecrackers) down a lead pipe, throwing a stone in after it, and aiming the pipe at windows.

You had an abandoned mansion at school? Cool!

We only had boring classrooms.

At night, it turns into a demon-infested tower, though... right?

Better get a hustle on this arming the border biz.   I hear Soln is going to try and break through!

Yeah, but I know people who used to work where he's headed. He doesn't know what he's in for.

Actually, yes, our school was an ailing mansion converted to a school. But the mansion in question was another one.  (http://www.epdlp.com/edificio.php?id=2717)
