i didn't say i've never squished a few bugs or whatever myself, but i'm just saying its not the only way you learn about life and death. tbh most people probably learn about that through losing a relative or something..

I think someone is more likely to kill something before a relative dies.

I used to go hunting for animals just to look at them, like collecting frogs in a bucket, identifying them then releasing them. I was fascinated by insects though. Still am really, those little armoured bastards are pretty damn cool. I've never seen a grass snake

i used to go insect hunting and that, had this awesome little pot which you could catch an ant or whatever in, then it had a magnifying glass in the top of the lid (so obviously you kept it out of the sun!!) so you could have a look at it properly before releasing it.

Ever build a camp in the woods out of dumped wardrobes and logs? What about starting fires?

I am glad fire was a part of my childhood, don't think it would have been the same.

ok ashley you've made your point, tbh this is not even that relevant anyway as i'm pretty sure most people will agree there is a fairly big difference between swatting some flies and beating a big lizard with a rock, right?

haha, everyone loves a good bonfire

Shame they caught him before he got to the aquarium ey, would of love to seen some CCTV footage of him catching some piranah or shark.

I know its morbid sanctity of human life and all, but man id love to see that kid try and catch a shark. Would give this story a satisfactory ending

Yeah man, fires were cool. But to be honest, I was a bit of a goody two shoes when I was a kid, so didn't really get up to too much like that really.

No. I don't think insects are even comparable to small amphibious creatures.

One time we set fire to a little bush and thought it went out so we went deeper into the woods and on the way home we walked past the bit we set on fire and a whole area had slowly burned away.

I have a different outcome on life now though - last charity I donated to was actually one that is preserving areas of the Amazon.

Hah this thread has reminded me of when i shot a horse in the back side with a catapult. It was so far away, other side of a field typical childish bravado i didn't think i would actually hit it. We just heard a loud slap and the horse bolted. Spent the next hour dodging a pissed off horse owner in a landrover........

hahahaha, I doubt the horse would even remember it was you. Worse things happen like the farmer sticking his hand up it in order to inseminate it.

This is true but man what a shot

not condoning the little chap's actions, but it doesn't say much for the security at this place if he was A. able to collect up all those creatures to feed to 'Terry' and B. actually be able to evade the alarms and get close enough to feed them to him. And I'm gonna say it before someone else does, I BLAME THE PARENTS

What about other people in the park? Shouldn't they be like OHNOEZ!?

Little tnuc! haha ash if all thats true shouldn't you be a qualified pilot by now? remember your fruit fly-plane device?

Can't find anymore flies, I think the word must have got out and now they are boycotting my lampshades.

To break into a zoo at age 7 is extremely audacious...and your supposed to be letting the buggers free if you must!!


A couple of years ago, this lady took her son to the Aquarium in Philly/Camden - and he disappeared...came back 10 minutes later soaking wet and the Mother was furious, but he wouldn't tell her what he had done - so she took him home and sent him upstairs to change out of the wet clothes..she goes up a few minutes later and finds him sitting on the floor with a baby penguin. He swam across a barrier and put one in his bookbag...

This was right around the time when Disney put out that Happy Feet movie..

Oh my, Fires played a big part of my childhood lol

I could think of nothing more fun than making a flamethrower out of a lighter and aerosol when I was 12

That was, until my friend had one of the deoderant cans blow up about 30cm from his face and recieved bruns on the face, singed hair (whole head, eye lashes, eye brows) everything

Him stumbling over to us after looking shell shocked and very singed and then saying 'I think I'm blind' is still one of the funniest things I have seen in my lifetime
