hilarious website
Apr. 18th, 2010 12:41 pmI just found a very funny website:
http://www.answerbag.com
I was looking for info on how to remove super glue from my fingers, so did a quick google search. answerbag.com was one of those that came up. Along with sensible answers it features such suggestions as:
Intrigued, I followed some of the links on the page to silly questions hoping for more nutty replies and wasn't disappointed. For example:
Oh, and why did I want to remove super glue from my fingers?
I was fixing something with a tube of cheap super glue. I was carefully watching the nozzle because I didn't want to squirt too much glue on, but no matter how hard I squeezed barely a single drop came out. I thought, WFT? then suddenly realised plenty of glue had been streaming out of the tube, below the nozzle which didn't seat properly on the top of the tube. (I guess that's why it was so cheap.) Now my hands were covered in glue, fingers were stuck to each other and stuck to the tube. Aaargh!
And how did I get it off?
I don't have any acetone (nail polish remover), which would have worked best, so I tried some eucalyptus oil -- it worked, but not very well. Then tried some WD40, which worked a little better, but I hate that stuff on my skin. After that I lathered up with soap and scrubbed gently for about half an hour, which worked best of all. I still have tiny bits on my skin, but most of it is gone now.

- Amputation, crude but effective.
- Blowtorch, or BIC lighter
- You could always use sand paper... or an angle grinder... or a file... or a chainsaw... or a shaped charge of TNT... or the light pecks of 387 doves.

How can i make my lips look bigger?I could not stop laughing while looking through further pages. Wonderful site. I must remember it for use on dreary days. :)
Take your vacuum cleaner, turn it on high, apply the noozle to your lips, let it suck for one hour, remove. Voila!
