“For my 8th birthday, a classmate got me something like a “grow your own stalagmite” kit you could buy at educational stores. Anyway, I kept it and the other birthday presents I got in a cardboard box in my room. Evidently, at some point, moisture got into the box and the plastic the powder was in, and it began expanding. Having nowhere else to go, the “stalagmite” material oozed its way out through the narrow slits in its box, and hardened into razor sharp edges. I found this out quite bloodily when I put my hand into my birthday box to grab another toy, and pulled it out with permanently altered fingerprints on my thumb, index, and middle fingers.” –Dahhhkness

There were probably a thousand other safer ways to do it but it just seemed the quickest. Fucking ice cream cone sizes, man.” –CarlDJB
