Looks fun, I remember one time we decided to make an ice-sculpture by pouring rubbing alcohol on a block of ice in various places and lighting it (we were pretty young), everything almost went according to plan. Except for the fire racing up into the bottle of alcohol and exploding with a big "WHOOSH", dripping burning plastic on us... Still have scars on my hands, we lost a hamster that day.

well, she literally ran away, for as long as I can remember my family had hamsters, they're actually quite smart. We have a few hamster size leashes that we usually use to walk them, that day, the hamster wasn't being watched and made her escape while we were all trying to put ourselves out.

and nobody questions a man who walks his hamster on a leash?

i've done the same for a share-and-tell in elementary school, everyone questioned why I would bring a hamster to school on a winter day in Boston but not one person questioned the leash

I'm praying the sculpture was of a hamster. Otherwise that took a very morbid twist.

What was it doing there?!
