When a Colt .45 gun, secured in a vise--with its bullet traveling at 1,022 mph--shoots at a traditional samurai sword, which was handcrafted by heating and folding steel 33,000 times and is also secured in a vice, the edge of the sword actually slices the softer lead that encases the bullet.
What are five things you can use piss for?
1) tan animal hides - was used by ancient Romans to break down the gristle in the hide, making the hide easier to tan
2) dye clothes - beer urine mixed with woad leaves makes a blue dye
3) gunpowder - mixing charcoal (provides fuel for the explosion), sulfur (stabilizes the reaction) and potassium nitrate from the urine (acts as an oxidizing agent to speed up the burning of the charcoal) creates gunpowder
4) cosmetics - urea, one of the main components of urine, has been shown to be an effective moisturizer
5) drinking - almost all civilizations have done the practice of drinking one's own urine for its perceived health benefits and curative powers; according to Central China Television, ten million people presently do this to stay healthy
How can you break out of handcuffs?
Method #1: Make sure the cuffs don't completely close - push your arms toward the person cuffing you, so there will be extra space when you later on slide the cuffs down to your wrists
Method #2: Pick the lock - create a shim from an everyday object such as a pen clip; wedging this flat shim directly between the silver teeth and the black locking mechanism of the cuff will keep the teeth from lining up with the locking mechanism
Method #3: Buy a key - since major handcuff companies all use the same key, this key is sold at good gun shops for a mere $10
Trivia: 1,250,000 handcuffs are sold in America each year.
What percentage of girls are bisexual? 14% of American women aged 18 to 29 have had a same-sex sexual encounter (per National Center for Health Statistics).
