What's the dumbest way you ever hurt yourself as a kid? Well, there's a video on YouTube of some kid named Jack, who looks like he's maybe 15...and he might have you beat.

He took one of those neon green glow sticks, and decided to put it in the MICROWAVE...just to see what would happen. And what it did was...explode in his FACE.

Apparently the chemical in those things isn't very toxic though, so he's fine. But he freaked out, thought he was going blind, and got yelled at by his dad...who'd just told him NOT to put glow sticks in the microwave.

(It explodes at 1:02.  WARNING:  Profanity, including F-bombs at 2:47 and 3:32.)
