some facts seeming useless on the first sight but if you use them right they can turn out quite useful: 1. it’s hard to eat a dry untoasted piece of tost in less than 60 seconds 2. styrofoam and gas put together make a napalm alike substance 3. shaving-foam freezes if you put it in fridge for several days - if you cut the can the fuel gas will be released and the shaving foam will folow slowly if it gets warmer. 4. it’s more likely (happens more often) to get killed by a falling coconut than by a shark. ---

Potassium chlorate on strike anywhere match heads (the white tip) when cut off… and hit hard with a hammer on a flat surfaces makes a very large bang… Get a whole box of matches and cut off the tips… And you can feel the heat wave from the boom. \*warning try at ur own risk. ---

Proportional to its size it is _one_ of the strongest. The mandible is actually the strongest out of the entire body (that’s the one that clenches your jaw) but people say it doesn’t count because it’s attached to a lever… screw that, it can put out hundreds of pounds of force 😛 ---

I could have sworn that it was the leg?! oh well… light blubs dont produce light, they suck away dark. Same with candles, that’s why the wick turns black afterwards, cuz the dark that got stuck to it. And in light blulbs, after they burn out, they have a black tinge to it. That is from the dark that has been trapped inside of it. 😉 :trout: Cheers! 3dnirvana ---
