Matt the Bruins Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Yeah, the livestock are packing heat these days. And when did buffalo evolve to have wings? As with many things, I blame Jessica Simpson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 If you have any old "vaseline glass" ... green or more usually pale greenish glass, mostly produced in the first half of the 20th Century ... you probably already know that the green is due to uranium oxide as the pigment in the glass. We have an old glass orange juicer that my wife's family had all during her formative years, and it's pale green in color, and it's got uranium oxide in it, which I have confirmed both with Geiger counter and a black light. What you may not know is that the uranium oxide fluoresces in UV, a nice bright yellow-green. If you can find some of the stuff (and any other fluorescent objects you can find) you can accentuate some effects with your black light imaging with them. My grandma had quite a bit of those things when I was little (I was always mysteriously fascinated by it for some reason as a wee kid). Don't know who ended up with it in the family, though.

Rails Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Are you suggesting using the fire extinguisher to smash the spider or to spray it? I'm OK with either, but spraying it gives me range. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Family finds rattlesnake in toilet, then 23 more underneath their house Glad my grandma isn't alive then. Merely reading that would kill her. I sometimes look back and wonder if she though snakes had supernatural powers as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it past the coconut crab, and so wouldn't trust Australia to lack a deadly venomous equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Fire ants are a valid reason to own a flamethrower. Or a metal foundry, and pour molten aluminum -- a lot of it -- into a fire ant nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
