I experimented with gravity... I was convinced I could fly... No I can not unless I go by plane, hot air balloon, helicopter or gigantic kite.
I did the buttered toast thing.
Bubble gum does come out just like everything else if you swallow it.
And my sister could scare the heck out of me by pulling the legs (all but one) from the spider's body. (That was her experiment)
If you eat as many oranges as you possibly can you will not get drunk. (My dad put odd ideas in our heads to humour himself).
I also built graveyards for ants... poor little things. Their relatives do not attend. Very very sad.
What odd and curious things did you do?... This is a "Springs to Mind" question.

Best answer!
I love this question by the way. ....."their relatives don't come." Ha ha!
I use to put Pill Bugs in my toy cars and crash them into things. They roll up and are very resilient! Although they don't do well under a magnifying glass in the sun. I felt sorry for it and didn't do that any more.
You can roast a marshmallow on your gas stove at home, but a stick cools off much faster than a fork! Ouch.
You can't make Kool-Aid with Pixie-stick powder in cold water. Oh man!
If you put a bug on a moving record player it wont run on it like a treadmill for long. (Jetson's Astro?)
Flies do freeze. (Look Mom!)
If you put torn up tissue on your Dad's face while he naps before dinner, he sometimes thinks it's funny!
Riding a horse bareback isn't too bad, but steering is terrible without the bridle.
You can't make the spirit come out of an Ouija board even if you light it on fire! The board wont even catch fire!
I CAN pitch a baseball indoors by using my pillow against the wall, although it still dents the portion of the wall that it's covering. Steeeerrrriiiiiiikkkkkeeee!

Like you, I tried to fly by clipping a towel around my neck like a super cape and would jump off of the air conditioner.....

I walked to school in an imaginary, clear bubble. It protected me from all harm.
My parents had a big, blue Catholic art book. There was a scary picture in the book. When my parents were not at home, I got the trowel and dug a hole and buried the book. (Age 7 or 8)
Kari and I put Kleenex in our training bras to see if we could magically attract the boy in the hamburger place. We also tried my mom’s orange-ish lipstick and her Balilika fragrance. (I can still smell it in memory. Wow!)
Experiment 1 & 2 worked.

We drank Cokes and used our staws like a cigarette. (No one noticed our cool on that one either)
I hope orange-ish lipstick comes back into fashion... you guys were stylin'.... cool-i-o.
I think orange is coming back.

Lambie, we did that experiment in science class... we also cut frogs open to see what was inside in science class. I was traumatized .... I think I still am.
Science that day. I think my mom called the school and got me out of it.

Removed the light bulb and put a bunch of nuts and screws in the socket to see what would happen when turned on. Spent the next hour prying the welded pieces out and replacing the house fuse. Fortunately dad never found out, even though I'm sure the bulb never fit right again.
