True. I never knew you could do it that way, but the whole point was to test if I can manage to do a double sided PCB without any issues. And it was a success for using an iron.

So i have no money and i needed a scope probe. I decided to make one.
I got a gold plated BNC male jack, and connected a piece of coax cable i had sitting around. The outer conductor (which is electrically connected with the shielding) was soldered to the negative lead with the alligator clip. The middle conductor was soldered to a 10Mohm resistor, which was soldered to a nail. That would make it a 10x probe. It works great!
Also, a video of the scope in X/Y mode with a neat little audio file connected to it straight from my sound card. Looks pretty neat. I included the sound, as im sure some people are curious to know what those oscillations sound like. Thanks to Avi for the idea and file!

Lots of these lil' fellers running around in the Oregon desert in the morning (before it gets really hot) in Pueblo valley. Caught one and took its picture.

Indeed. I believe this one is the species Phrynosoma platyrhinos.
I personally have not seen any species of these guys, that I have caught, squirt blood, but I have talked to other people that have seen that happen.
This species of horned lizard is pretty common in the S.E. Oregon desert. When I was a kid growing up in north San Diego county, California, there were a lot of 'Horny Toads' as they were called, in that area back then. Not now though, too many houses and roads.
