Knowledge Learned From Your Kids
1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3. A 3-year old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh," it's already too late.

8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9. A six-year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

10. Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old.

11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens.

20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24. The mind of a 6-year old is wonderful. First grade...true story: One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home.
She read, "...And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he
said...'Holy sh_t! A talking pig!'" The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

i think more will try.
 
I was laughing so hard when I reached that one.... as I already had tried to remember if I have any brake cleaner left for the experiment

Well.......I mixed equal amounts and ........NOTHING!

Sorry guys....urban legend time...if anyone gets it to work, I want photos and exact measurements.

Hmmm

Not that I am a pyro or anything, but substitute a pile of HTH granules for the liquid bleach and be real careful adding a SMALL amount of the brake fluid...

Ideally use a "2 beer can drip delay fuse" to dispense the brake fluid and don't do this on momma's kitchen table.

For longer lasting fun, mix up a shopping bagful of sawdust and melted parrafin, pile inside an old bald tire, place the HTH and drip fuse at the center of the pile... If the delay fuse works right, you can be a couple states away before the fun starts.

:flame: :viking:
 
Try mixing the brake fluid with swimmng pool shock treatment. When I used to work at a summercamp we used to rig up little cups of brake fluid over piles of shock treatment in the giant campfires. Someone would pull a little string and the cup would dump and the fires would magically ignite. I've done this a bunch of times it really works.
 
Hmm...I think I might try that sometime..I'll report back (of course outside with a fire extinguisher ready!)
 
3 to 6 weeks, most times they will be thicker.
