People don't realize how extraordinary this thread is! It's happening in Vancouver which is a really whacked out city. That anyone is even discussing science in that heroin tripping, B.C. bud smoke filled city is incredible! There is hope for mankind after all!

#25 I now want to test this on one of those 3M Security Glass advertisements with the money inside. It would probably be my luck that I would use too much and dissolve the money also. Heh.

i read somewhere

Spiders and such crawl down your throat while you sleep. They are attracted to the heat, or maybe the co2. That plus the occasional bug you might inhale while hiking or something like it.

I live in Vancouver, BC. When I was in grade 4 I went on a Field trip to Science World. We had the buddy system so no one would be left behind. The School bus left me and my buddy behind…
