my clock

I am Back...........

well this incident dates back to my school days....

i have always been a curious person...   always challenged the prevalent ideas and ended up with hilarious results......   this is one such...

my dad got a japanese clock as a gift from the then director of his company....  and it was so cute that i used to keep it with me....always.....  it was perfectly spherical in shape....  and sometimes i used to play with it.....

well  i saw that the clock had a 1.5 v battery which powered it.....   

that day i just had a queer thought ....  if 1.5 volts can move it so slowly.... that is 1 seconds a second.....  then shud it not move faster if i apply 240 volts  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

the rest you can guess....  with the kind of a person i am.......
i used two wires to join the two terminals of the clock with the AC mains.....   

AND BOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BOOM BOOM......  !!!!!!!!!!!!!

that clock could not be repaired by anyone .... ever......

thats me......
