I personaly do dumb things, than wonder why I did that, so do you ever do the following?
so what else have you done?
Touched something that looked hot, to see if it realy was.
Ate something someone said was sour to see if it realy was.
Drank something hot, after someone told you it was realy hot.
Poked a bruise, or other injury, just to see if it would hurt.
Got shocked by something, and touched it again to see if thats what shocked you.
Warned someone about a hazzard only to fall victm to it yourself.

All but the last one. I once was moving a dryer with a short in it so the whole thing was hot. I shocked once, then leaned over it to unplug it, got shocked again, kicked it (which shocked me) then finnally jumped on top of it so I wasnt grounded and unplugged it. Ha.

Once, after I had just sharpened a friends knife I was playing with it, and accidentally shut it on my thumb. Being the genius I was, I didn't stop and pull it off, I clamped the rest of my fingers on it so I didn't drop it and dull the knife.
I dropped a knife and tried to catch it.
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.
Ha Ha you guys are funny! It makes me feel better
At work I know where all of the koala's climbing branches are yet continually hit my head on them. There's been more than one occassion where I've had an egg on my head and felt a bit woozy.
Oh and I once cleaned a power outlet with a wet sponge. Yes, I was surprised when I got a shock.

i got stuck in a dumpster once.
Then she would run until morning to ease the ache; swifter than rain, swift as loss, racing to catch up with the time when she had known nothing at all but the sweetness of being herself.

um...I've done all of those things...
And you'd think I'd learn after the first time that it wasn't a good idea...but no.
"I’ve tasted all the sweetest creams
and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
sunny skies pervade my dreams
and light the dark of earthly scenes..."
The last one happened to a friend of mine - he was stage-managing a production I was in, and delivered a long health-and-safety talk warning us not to fall off the stage... and thirty seconds later, down he goes. At least he was man enough to laugh about it after we stemmed the bleeding.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
All of the above, and then some
How about:
- Looking up to see a cactus falling from a shelf above you... and catching it (Ouch!)?
- Ordering an exceedingly strong chili dish at a restaurant... after witnessing another guest cry out for help after one mouthful?
- Going A over T with your bike down an icy hill... after having done the same thing the day before, thinking "This time I'll make it"?
There is more, but this is what I could think of right away.

I forgot one of my best(?) moments:
Uni science camp, winning a drinking game, getting onto a bench to laugh at the opposition, falling off bench, dislocating and fracturing elbow and not realising until somebody pointed to my arm and said "My God! What is wrong with your arm!?". There she was, swaying in the breezeIt was the middle of the night and we were in the middle of nowhere. They had to drive like 2 hours to get me to hospital, hitting an eagle and a kangaroo on the way.
"Oh the clever
Things I should say to you
They got stuck somewhere
Stuck between me and you"
Now, give me credit on what I'm about to tell you - I was a VERY curious 6-year-old at the time:
I was sitting on a bench, wearing shorts and a T-shirt. I had my knees hugged to my chest, and found that I could pull the T-shirt over my legs, down to my ankles, so that my legs were trapped in the T-shirt along with my body.
Then I started wondering if I could walk with my legs caught in the T-shirt.
Not thinking of getting off the bench, but only of being able to walk thus, I promptly made to get off the bench, forgetting that I hadn't the use of my legs, and I fell FLAT on my face - smashed-in my two front teeth, and cut my lips!!
*sigh* the dentist resolutely said to my mother, as he pulled shards of teeth out of my gums, that I would most definitely have to wear braces, cause my permanant teeth were also damaged...true to word, I wore braces for 5 years of my high school life - all because of 5 seconds of curiousity as a 6-year-old - is that fate or what?!

So that its feel reminds me of slept-in sheets: comfortable and safe"

(like, er .. to always think I'm right in the first moment :rolleyes~ maybe I'm more like the stubborn kind of guy ...
