Dumb ideas
bbilbro@... 13th Mar 2006
#18 is about as stupid as anyone can get.
Scareing the Geese out off the lawn and out of the parking lot at work, best because no evidence left behind vs using a water hose on them.

What about

blowing up the truck?

I used to do that back in the office and it would result in all sorts of strange and puzzled looks on faces as everyone was preparing for a smelly biochemical attack on their noses.

The look on people's faces was priceless when they really though that someone had let loose a mad ripper.

102nd use
Dr Dij 7th Mar 2007
tonite on futurecars, fuels that future cars will run on. including plastic from landfills dissolved and turned into oil.

another one:
small econo cars can be run on compressed air for quite a few miles. And of course gas stations could be made to pump you full of compressed air pretty quick. Probably alot less than fill up with hydrogen.
or involved in a small accident -- do not worry, the explosion will surely throw you 30+ft and kill you. No need to worry anymore, as you probably wont even feel it (after 10 seconds of burning hell).

Won't worry
Dr Dij 7th Mar 2007
this ISN'T compressed OXYGEN, it's just compressed air. Think air hose to fill your tires. How many people smoking while filling their tires have blown up?

and most likely the air will leak out with a big his, and the chill caused by expanding air will put out any fires. (which most likely won't bee any since no gas tank)

No, you'r eright, I'd prefer my regular gasoline powered car that balls up in flame 30' high with a big explosion! Got a light for my cig? Do you remember Ford Pinto's? they'd do this in a slight back end bump accident.

Ok, compressed air, not canned gas.

Well, I guess it was worth the initial thought -- BOOM

to blow the excess liquids from the tip of your tattoo tube between colors so you don't thin the next color down.

Re: Wart Removal
mikeinsf@... Updated - 7th Mar 2007
This is a great use for canned air, but requires some qualification over the simplistic description here.
1) Locate wart
2) Find a Bic pen, Biro's work best
3) Remove ink head and ink cylinder from pen. Leave the colored collar insert in the pen that holds the ink head in place. Remove the end-cap from the pen. This will give you a nice, focused applicator for the freezing fluid.
4) Center the small hole of the collar piece in the pen over he wart.
5) Invert the can and spray fluid into the cylinder of the pen. Be sure to hold pen cylinder upright so it holds the fluid inside. It's easier if you use the little red hose that you can attach to the spray head of the compressed air. Insert this hose into the pen cylinder. Be prepared for some of the liquid to splash back out. It's ok if it gets on you, it will feel cold but quickly evaporate.
6) Hold the pen in place over the wart allowing the liquid to freeze the wart. Allow the wart to freeze for 30-45 seconds.
7) Lift the pen cylinder away from the skin.
8) the spot will appear pinkish-white. The wart and small area of flesh around it will take about 24 hours to begin dying.
9) Apply antiseptic regularly and a band-aid to prevent infection.
10) Enjoy wart-free skin
