"In an experiment to examine the incubation of goat's blood, I accidentally added 10 times too much hydrogen peroxide. Blood shot out of the flask and splattered all over my face like a scene from The Sopranos. I can still hear my professor's screams. But that's OK, because I hadn't really gone to university to win the Nobel prize, I'd gone to experience the culture of the mid 90s."
"No longer known as their aliases PJ and Duncan from Byker Grove, the pair had started presenting CBBC's The Ant & Dec Show, which featured Beat The Barber, in which they'd shave kids' heads if they lost a multiple choice pop quiz. We assumed the live show would be comedy, and full of ironic students, maybe because around the same time we went to see Robbie Williams on his first ever solo tour where he played Let Me Entertain You, Angels."
A Nottingham chemistry student accidentally added ten times the required hydrogen peroxide to an experiment with goat's blood, causing blood to explode from a flask and splatter the student's face while the professor screamed. The student attended university primarily to experience mid-1990s culture rather than to pursue chemistry, enjoying British dance music and Britpop. The student attended an Ant & Dec live show expecting ironic student humor but found a pre-pubescent audience, then charmed access to the presenters' hotel rooms and drank their aftershow beers. A campus radio mistake occurred when the broadcast button was forgotten.
