While serving in the army in Germany I once dribbled some cleaning solvant on a bee. It struggled a few seconds before rolling onto its back with its feet together. I thought it was dead until several minutes later when it started wrigging. It eventually got to its feet and buzzed off.

To be fair the bees sprayed with Vodka were a little ‘buzzed’.

I built a paper crossbow at home. I used a dowel that I sharpened with a pencal sharpener as an arow. I fired it at a cardbord box top, the arow went through the box top and in to the stirofome
box behind it. I think that indicates it can kill.

Well, having been in prison before I can assure you that a crossbow out of newspaper is not only possible but very likely. You would not believe the assortment of weapons and poisons available to the pissed off and determined inmate.Going to prison changed my life. Some for the better, some for the worse but one thing it did big time is, it opened my eyes. By the way, I don’t do things that would wind me up in the slammer anymore.At least that’s my story. And in prison I learned that if you have a good story-stick to it, man!

Whoa, all this tipping Vodka on the floor is a very expensive way of cleaning. Does this have anything to do with why some people use only a teaspoon of methylated spirits in hot water to clean their tiles??

I hear that Coke can be used as a toilet cleaner. It contains a certain acid that is able to corrode w/e is left on the toilet bowl.
