In the spirit of setting challenges for oneself, I came across this list online, and thought it'd be interesting to compare my own experiences. I've put all that I have done in bold, and judging by the lack of thicker text, it looks like I have some catching up to do:
1. Have a really stupid accident which necessitates a hospital visit (this I have done, and am now the bearer of a small scar by my nose and a crooked baby finger on my right hand, the result of a break that shall never heal)
2. Shoot something
3. Take a weekend break more than 1000 miles from home
4. Boot Linux on your home PC
5. Get lost in a country where you don't speak the language (Spanish exchange, I was 16. Spent more time delighting in the fact that I could legally buy Bacardi Breezers rather than learning Spanish)
6. Spend more than your monthly income on a pocket sized gadget
7. Post bail for a friend
8. Break a really large plate glass window (Again, resulting in a small scar, this time on my right leg. Never skateboard near glass)
9. Make a parachute jump on a hangover
10. Use a whole roll of gaffa tape in one day
11. Make a pointless modification to your house
12. Neck a pint of peppermint oil
