Unusual Things That Work!
I thought it'd be pretty cool to share stuff we've learnt, that's unusual, but works.
Let me begin with an example....
MARZIPAN- World's Most Successful Contraception
How many people knew that marzipan is the world's most successful contraception?
Here's a link to marzipan and its uses according to Wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marzipan (Which makes no reference to the below, so you really have to question how good a resource Wiki really is)
I learnt this one, this week.
When a couple get married, they have the traditional wedding cake which is covered in Marzipan.
They may have a slice on the wedding day and then the new wife will take a large piece home and put it in the cupboard.
On the night of the wedding, the couple have sex, but after that, it starts to become less frequent, to the point where it no longer happens.
This is because of marzipan.
The cake in the cupboard (That the wife put there) is coated with marzipan and it is giving off an odour that only females can smell, and it slowly erodes away their sex drive. The chemicals and other stuff in marzipan interact with the wife's hormone's causing this effect.
The longer it sits there, the more of the marzipan odour is given off, and less sex the female will feel like having.
All because of marzipan....
I don't know about others here, but that explains a lot to me, and I had no clue what the cause was.
Anything unusual others have learnt that they want to share?

And there was me thinking it was the white dress that did it! This makes so much more sense. Marzipan. Treacherous stuff!

Hi lutan1, Thank you, thank you, Now I know why!!!
For almost thirty years we would often have cake for dessert covered with thick frosting.
I haven't had dinner yet and if there is cake she gets NONE!!!!! That is in the trash.
I wondered why she had a thing for always having cake. She must have learned this in home economics class.
Stay safe, share knowledge and train often.

And here all this time I thought divorce was the best form of contraception. All this time I coulda had a cake laying around.
Sure would have been cheaper.

Yes, you do learn something every day...
Here all this time I thought the reason some couples don't have sex is because the husband got fat and bald and their wives weren't attracted to them anymore...
AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAAHAHHAHA
blame it on the cake if it makes you feel better...
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA

HA.
ok.
On a serious note. Other than your birth control cake.
Down here in the South we don't have as many chimney fires as we did in the North, so some of these southern guys have never heard of a chimney bomb before.
I am sure some of you use them.
But for those who don't, putting dry chem into ziploc bags and storing them on the engine for chimney fires works great. Drop the "bomb" down the chimney, the fire melts the bag, and the dry chem puts the fire out. Many homeowners have been extremely pleased with this due to the ability to put out the fire without putting water in their chimney causing further damage to the flue and creating a huge mess.

Haven't used one in years. Most people in the Houston area have a fireplace to... well have a fire place. We used them up in the Panhandle years ago. We didn't have ziploc bags, but still used plastic bags closed with twist ties. I hadn't thought about them for a long time.

ha ha ha yes, we in Charleston also have fireplaces... to have a fireplace. Good way of putting it.

I was taught that with a chimney fire, if there's still a good hot fire in the fireplace, throw a glass of water onto it - let the steam/water vapour go up the chimney and do the work.
The few I've been to had the home owner being given the advice "Have your chimney cleaned". At the Brigade I'm with now we use a garden hose fitting on it's wide spray setting and lower it down the chimney, using very little pressure. Very little water actually makes it down to the bottom. Works well.

I heard this week also that if you are out camping in a crocodile infested area, before going to bed, urinate around the tent and crocodiles will not attack you as they don't like the aroma.
No one has ever been taken by a croc who has urinated around their campsite, so I guess it works, or maybe it's coincidence- you decide..... :)
