	http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/11598 is reviewing some of the most viscous fluids around the home. What about alternative uses for common fluids? Here's a start: can be used instead of brake fluid in a car's hydraulic system, in an emergency, according to Urban Legend. Next? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	I have heard that they can make labels on milk bottle change colour when the milk is sour. Which is good blue or green? I think we need the help of Del. Milk can be used for a lot of things. __________________ Never do today what you can put of until tomorrow - Student motto

	You are joking? Think about this... 1) What is the boiling point of milk? 2) In terms of physics, what process is used to stop a moving car? Answers (Cleverly Disguised): seerged 212 tuobA )1 .taeh otni derrefsnart si ygrenE citeniK .noitcirF )2

	The barman caught a dog in the bar stealing the snacks. He cut of his tail just behind the ears. The dog did not make it and came back the night to get his tail. The barman told him "sorry we don't retail spirits after hours" Is retailing another use for booze? __________________ Never do today what you can put of until tomorrow - Student motto
