3 tsp of Hydrogen Peroxide makes doggies, who eat things they're not supposed to, puke. Frodo ate possibly poison mushrooms in my friends backyard today. I made him barf and fed him charcoal doggie treats. He's fine now.

Homemade napalm, when enough is mixed to fill a 2" wide x 2" deep crack running the entire width of you street, will burn for approximately 30 minutes - not the two or three minutes you thought.

Lesson actually learned 25+ years ago, but it still holds true I would imagine

Even if your big male dragon has been pretending to be in an early hibernation for the past couple of weeks, he will not continue to pretend to be in an early hibernation if you put a female in with him, even if the female is slightly undernourished and needs some rest.

Damn Grebo.

I have learned that small businesses should always opt for a hi-tech security alarm system.

I have also learned that even aided by Daylight Savings Time, I am really not a morning person.
