When I was 12, I thought that passing an electric current will boost up my IQ. So, I put DC electrodes on my forehead and let the current run (it was a 12 V electric current). I thought I can see the current flowing throught my brain and I thought I became smarter. I tried this everyday and I thought myself became smarter and smarter. One day, I used wrong plug and current so that it almost electrocuted me and the main fuse of the house went burnt out. As a result, my mother beat me several times.
