    That’s a shit prank, and people like your nan don’t understand how pranks work.

    A good prank should allow the subject to join in the fun. Some stuff came up this year, so my plans have to be delayed until next year, but I bought a vial of gallium that I’m planning on molding with a cast of one of our kitchen spoons.

    So my wife will wake up and see that her coffee melted her spoon. Little miraculous and inexplicable moment in the morning.

    (Gallium is non-toxic)

      I absolutely love your spoon idea, but you are like the 1% of pranksters. I have never, ever witnessed or been subjected to a prank that lets the victim join in the fun. It’s always been solely fun at someone else’s expense, ending in laughing and/or pointing at someone.

        People are pretty good at remembering the negatives and forgetting positives.

        Maybe you just remember the mean ones.

        It’s melting point is 85F, but I’ve found it difficult to melt with body heat. Haven’t played with it out of the vial yet though. Maybe it’ll be easier when it’s thinner.
