Ive really enjoyed reading other peoples random facts, so I decided to pick my own number and compose my own. I came up with 10. 1) When I was a kid, I burnt our garage to the ground (with the car and my sister’s imaginary pony both inside). 2) I was the only student in my Junior High who had to balance after school band practice with after school basketball practice. 3) I almost killed a woman with three steel balls and a vacuum cleaner. 4) A friend and I directed a stop motion short called “Revenge of the Cannibal Troll From Outer Space, Part 17: The Revenge” using a Norfin troll, camcorder, and editing equipment. 5) I taught myself to program in BASIC in the fourth grade. My best friend Rick and I actually tried to start a video game company called Computech, the idea being that we would sell our Breakout and Defender clones to classmates. The downfall of Computech was that none of our classmates actually had computers. 6) I once serenaded a random business woman in the Town Center Mall with a rousing rendition of “Sweet Transvestite”, complete with choreography. 7) I know how to extract DNA using common, household ingredients. 8) I wrote an article for my high school newspaper that was banned by the vice-principal; since he had no say over yearbook contents, however, one of my teachers had it reprinted there. 9) This same vice-principal also banned a two act play I’d written and the drama department had agreed to perform. 10) I used to work four, twelve-hour shifts in a row at a chemical plant. When the rotation fell on night shift, I was pretty much oblivious to current events since I slept all day and worked all night. After one of these night shifts, I returned to a trailer I was renting that was about six miles from a nuclear power plant. I fell asleep on the couch only to be awakened later by the sirens which were meant to warn of a leak or meltdown. I didn’t see the point in trying to evacuate since the traffic would be so congested it would be at a standstill and I’d never be able to make it out of the blast radius in time. So I sat there on the couch, smoking a cigarette and waiting to die. Turns out it was just a test. I had been announced on TV and the radio for the past couple days, but I hadn’t seen the announcements due to my work/sleep schedule. Not really a fact, I suppose, but more of an interesting story.
