Yeah, I'm amazed I survived some of the experiments I performed as a kid.
With the supercomputers and high-end graphics workstations we all have on
our desks now, you'd think that some *really* life-like simulations could
be written that would allow kids to make all of the same mistakes we did,
but sans scar tissue. We still need a good smellovision device to give
them a good sense of singed eyebrows, though.
