Girl in my chemistry class painted her face with silver nitrate (IIRC the chemical correctly; something used in photo development turns dark brown/black when exposed to sunlight) because she did not believe it would do anything once she went out into the sun.

She got sent home for being in black flace next period.

Yes, silver nitrate. Also, she would have had that lesson painted on her face for at least a week.
