    Overclocking.

    With liquid nitrogen.

    No gloves, no eye protection.

    Most impressive.

    Loved the blowtorch though.

    When I was at uni, a fellow student filled a plastic coke bottle with liquid nitrogen and then screwed the top on to "see what would happen"

    When the thing started making some strange noises he panicked and quickly stuck it under a cold tap to "cool" it down.
    Needless to say, that didn't have the effect he was expecting!

        Sounds crazy, but from my brief unscientific study of the very first site I googled, bare skin isn't as bad as it's cracked up to be. If you do wear protection, be sure it won't soak up or trap liquid, or it's hospital time.
