Hiccups Cured With Science!
Medical research (actually, just some Israeli doctor with a rectal tickling urge) shows that even prolonged bouts of hiccups can be cured by slow, rotatary, digital rectal massage.

Next time you get those annoying diaphragm spasms, just get your arsehole poked.

Stick them in the freezer, they come out frozen and lully. Plus all those flavours too; the artificial colouring would turn your tongue a different colour too.

Beelieve it!
Ever wanted a small Bee as your pet?
Realised that it will probably fly away when you go out on walks?
Wondering how you will keep the pesky little critter under wraps?

Well I have a solution for you!
Capture one Bee and pop him/her into a jar that you can seal up, put said jar into the fridge for about 15 minutes so that bee can chill out and stop trying to fly away.
Take your Bee out of the fridge, open the jar and tie a small piece of sewing thread around the little stinging bastard and hey presto! Your Bee is on a leash so it can't bugger off and you can have fun being its master and flying it around!

(Please note: if you tie the thread too tight you might chop your bee in half, this would be sad, so watch out)

Thank you and goodnight!

It's common sense!
Don't put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow!
This brings me onto my seconds point, the only thing common about common sense it that it’s not common!

Another vaguely dangerous recipe
Want to make that classic hammer-horror "smoking beaker" effect in your own home, but can't get dry ice anywhere?

Acquire a soda-stream bottle (the big ones) and put a marble against the valve stem. Put a double-layer of tight cloth around the whole valve area and press the cylinder down hard on the marble, against a tabletop or suchlike. The cylinder must be valve-down to do this. Solid carbon dioxide will accumulate rapidly in the material and can be forced out in a lump (carefully, it can give you a nasty freeze burn). Drop this lump into someone's drink for that chilly, drifting fog effect. nb - since it's only carbon dipoxide it's not harmful, but don't let them swallow the dry ice).

(mind your fingers, wear thick gloves).

perfect chilli sauce
Take a pint bottle of tequilla. Drink about half of it. When you are well again, procure about 2 pint glasses of chillies of your liking - bird's eyes, scotch bonnets, habernos give the best economy. Open them up, leave the seeds in. Place them flat on a baking tray and roast very gently until they are dry. Hurl them in a blender (those with the little grinder attachment are best), and razz them to a powder. Then carefully add to the leftover tequilla. If you only have a regular blender, put the tequilla in it, then the peppers, and razz it to a paste. It should be fairly fluid afterwards.

Either way - be careful opening the blender. the dusts/vapours are fucking hostile.

Now you have your basic hot pepper sauce, add to it as it is used up. use whatever you have - commercial chilli powder or cayenne pepper, more rast pepppers, roast garlic, anything provided it is flavoursome and dry. Replenish fluid at the same time with any spirit of your choosing. Do not add anything with significant water in it, as this will allow it to go off. Keep the stopper or cap on when in storage.

Thereafter, just keep it going - mine's been going for several months now, and just tastes better and better. About a teaspoon will heat four curries nicely.

And don't let some drunken cunt swig from it, thinking it's still tequilla ... *shudders*

Hangover cure
take a pint glass. To this add about 0.5g of vitamin C ( available from helath food shops). Also add 2 pro-plus tablets. Dissolve in a small amount of hot water. Mix in a large tablespoon of honey. Top up to 3/4 pint with coke. Drink with obvious relish* and feel better.

rusted bolts
If you have the Bolt That Will Not Undo, (ie in a cylinder head, pipe flange or similar) take the pressure off it by tightening the other bolts around it. Don't take them out first, it will make it worse. Also, if it really won't move, smack it down on the head hard with a hammer to drive its threads out of engagement with whatever it's in. If this doeesnt do it, nothing will.

Also - Use a ring spanner, or a true-hexagon socket. Open ended spanners and - worse - adjustables, will slip and remove two corners from a bolt head. Avoid.

etching copper: fast etch solution and brightener.
Forget ferric chloride, this is the right way to do it. Excellent for doing printed circuit boards or as a pretreatment for painting.

Degrease to a water-break free surface with an even mixture of acetone and isopropanol. Immediately immerse (or brush) with a mixture of 4 parts water, 1 part concentrated hydrochloric acid and 2 parts hydrogen peroxide. When the copper is etched as much as you need it (instantly, for painting purposes) remove the scaly deposits on it with dilute ammonia solution. Rinse well with water and dry with fresh acetone if you need to paint it, otherwise air-dry.

remember to follow basic H&S protocols for the reagents involved: if you don't know what they are you shouldn't be trying it. On the upside - this works a treat.

wear gloves.
you never realise how absorbent skin is until it shows you. I was handling copper sulphate and got some on my hands .. washed it off, so i thought .. washed my hands again before dinner with soap. Lo, teh soaps go a lovely blue colour and gel like paint onto my hands, having to be physicallyscraped off. The damn sulphate was still there. So whatever you're doing, if it involves poisonous fluids, solvents, paints, oils etc. wear gloves and keep the poisons where they belong. Thank you.

Trying to get powdered Tragacanth to dissolve? its fucking hard isnt it?
First heat the solution you mean to put it in until boiling, then have it constantly stirring whilst still boiling. Add the powdered tragacanth pinch by pinch and it will dissovle.
