I'm Still Alive

The brownies didn't kill me. I've eaten like five now. It was over twelve hours before I noticed any discoloration of the urine with three brownies. I have photographic evidence, but I'll spare you. Here's a list of April Fool's Day pranks that went over a little better than the brownies my brother refuses to touch.

Also, I'd like to point you to this site. While it is totally lame that I lifted these links from the Wikipedia article, what Zorbu has done for today is absolutely awesome.

Because We Can

Honestly, I was a little worried. Partly because I wasn't sure how stable the methylene blue would be at high temperatures (still a little worried about this) and partly because I didn't have enough eggs to make multiple batches if I burned them and whatnot. I'm eating the first piece now.

I want the Internet to know: if this kills me, it was worth it.

Because this brownie is great. It's so delicious and moist!

A prank that does involve altering body chemistry

I've been looking forward to this for a while. You can see the methylene blue on the left, contained within two baggies as it stains almost anything. The dye seems to have spilled most likely when I stowed it. I didn't add any Ex-lax, but I think it really makes the camera phone picture that much better.
I followed the recipe on the box, although not well. I forgot to add some special chocolate syrup that came with it. I eyeballed the methylene blue until the mix had a distinctive green coloration. In addition to the methylene blue, I poured a bag of chocolate chips into the mix too. I guess I didn't really follow the instructions. Brownie mix effectively hid the usual bitter taste!
It looked disgusting.
Luckily, the green color faded when baked. I'm eating some of the batter now, which is slightly more viscous than usual brownie batter, but still delicious!

FAL-C-OWN PUNCH!!!

I grabbed the above image from a bulletin board at a community college. It made me go wtfffffff and fill with a rage that could only be properly expelled in one way.

Speaking of such an exciting weekend, how could I ever hope to cover everything in just one post? I probably won't ever cover everything that happened, even with me moblogging the significant events as they unfolded. I got a lot of perspective, to be certain. Unfortunately, no one wanted to try the methylene blue. More for me, I guess.

My host is an interesting fellow. Or is that was because he is no longer my host? That makes for an excellent segue: he is an english major with a high school drama background and a religious fervor, although technically agnostic, I believe. I don't wish to reveal his dox or I'd just link to his Myspace page, but the point is as a formerly Mormon bandgeek (on both accounts for the most part), we ran in different circles in high school and didn't become friends until senior year when we were thrust into a mandated reading group as part of the school's silly attempt to boost test scores. Eventually we went on zany adventures trying to get jobs as Elves in a Santa display and misadventures to numerous to name, tied by the common bond that we can't hardly get some. No one gets that reference, but it was the original title of this blog; it's still listed in my favorites under that name. In any case, I was the newest of his high school friends invited (many of whom I hadn't even realized I went to high school with at all!) and I often set up an antagonistic dynamic with people, especially people I like. I don't know why I'm always such a douche bag and see no reason to justify or rationalize it at the current time. The point is, I fell somewhere between observer and outsider. It was interesting. The offer of methylene blue probably didn't help any either. Oh well.

I'm going to end this post earlier than I had anticipated because I've realized I don't have anything productive to express at this moment. I told myself I'd work on one of my finals tonight, but it probably won't happen. I'll blame DST.

Teeth Stains

A very unflattering picture of my teeth stained by the methylene blue. The stains last longer on skin than teeth, which is fortunate. I don't know if I'll be able to get a decent picture of my sclera. Methylene blue tastes pretty disgusting. This will be my last trial for a time...probably...

It's Hard to Overstate My Satisfaction

This photo was taken approximately 23 hours after ingestion. There is still some color left, but it appears to filter through almost completely within a twenty-four hour period. I have noticed no ill effects.

But it looks like I may have stained the toilet.

This was a triumph

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!!

Disregard how messy the bathroom is for a moment and realize how awesome this is. I ingested 1 tsp of methylene blue with two 12 oz cans of Mountain Dew and waited a few hours and BAM! So far, I've noticed no discoloration of the sclera.

Why? Because it came.

Turn Urine Blue

Methylene Blue is an amazing chemical. From my crude understanding, it's a dye with mild anti-fungal properties that make it useful for aquaculture. If ingested, in small amounts, can turn someone's urine blue. It is available for purchase on Amazon in case your fishes get a case of the ich. Update: I've purchased 4oz of methylene blue after mistakenly ordering 1oz of methylene green. What a mix up that was! Stay posted.
