breaking your wrist with a potato?!

Question: Breaking your wrist with a potato?

okay, so my friends were talking about this ALL day at school. they said that if you boil a potato, cut it in half, and keep one half on each side of your wrist all night, and in the morning when you wake up, you tap it with a spoon, it will break. is this true? and is this how the steps go to doing this?
I think i'm going to do a report on it for science. thanks. (:

uh, i really hope im not ruining anything right now but no, that wont happen.

basically what you'd be trying to do is after boiling and cutting the potato youd wanna wrap your wrist TIGHT with it and supposedly after having all that pressure on your wrist all night the bone structure would be compromised so much so to the point to where the smallest amount of kinetic energy could fracture the bones.

again, wont happen.
your wrist will probably hurt like hell in the morning though.

but if i might ask... why would you wanna break your wrist?
ive accidentally broken it. i was in a cast for about 6 weeks and it hurt quite badly.

did you ever think that "preggo" and "ragu" were suggestive names for spaghetti sauce?
menstrual sauce... gross.

Try it (;

Haha that's interesting, never heard of it. Sorry, can't really help much, but wanted to comment...
