      Only my mum when she is really angry with me, and the toaster the other day!

      Loads of things, but not deliberately! My background is in Chemistry and occasionally things go wrong. That’s why it’s important to wear safety specs!

      My Brother once put an egg in the microwave, but it wasn’t in the name of science.

      Nope! only my car engine on one occasion (it was very smokey)! but nothing in the lab. The sort of research I do doesn’t involve makig up potions and doing experiments with test tubes etc. Its more people based and I think they would be pretty scared if I started blowing things up infront of them :).
