Get off my car!

Cat lovers will probably not want to watch this, but not being a cat lover I do love this short but sweet video! It appears that the cat wasn't harmed in this little dittie.

Playing with Snakes

Ya know something, I may not be a very smart man, but I do know not to get into water with a very big snake! And in said water grab the snakes tail, jerk it around, and then go looking for its head "full of teeth".

If you do grab a giant snake expect yourself to be saying "I've got a really bad bite" several times.



I want to thank liveleak.com for showing us what not to do with really big snakes!

The Cooling of Drinks Experiment

Its summer and we all want our drinks cooled down as quickly as possible so below is the break down of how to do it and the break down of the experiment to try for yourself or to prove it to the sceptical reader. Works well for beer, wine or... well, I don't know what else.....we didn't try it on any other beverages.

Experiment 1: Ice vs. Ice + water vs. Ice + water + salt vs. fridge vs. freezer
Initial measurements:
* Ice
* Ice + water: 33 degrees
* Ice + water + salt (salt melts ice and lowers the freezing point): 24 degrees
Results (after 5 minutes):
* Ice: 57 degrees
* Ice water: 44 degrees
* Salt water: 35.9 degrees
* Freezer: 55 degrees
* Fridge: 60 degrees
Final results [time needed to cool to an unspecified cold temperature for optimum drinking coolness(slightly longer for icy cold)]:
* Ice + water + salt: 5 minutes
* Ice + water: 15 minutes
* Freezer: 25 minutes
* Ice: 30 minutes
* Fridge: 40+ minutes
