LOL, that’s great!

Kind of reminds me of the time when I was 13 years old, my brother had a minibike (the old kind with a lawnmower engine) that didn’t work, so I got it in my head to disassemble the motor and find out what was wrong with it (even though I had no idea about motors)

I drained the gas tank into a large cup. To my surprise, as the gasoline entered the styrofoam cup, it immediately disintegrated.

I found an old Maxwell Coffee can, and drained the gas into that. Curious, I threw a piece of the cup into it, and it disappeared.

Fascinated, I threw the rest of the cup in...poof. There was a bag of styrofoam pellets, and I wanted to see how many I could throw in before it wouldn’t dissolve them anymore, and I was astonished. It was like magic. I grabbed a screwdriver and stirred the viscous goo, and still disappeared!

Now I had this can of thick goo with a screwdriver in it, and I didn’t know what to do with it, so I stuck it behind an old cabinet.

A year later, when we moved out of the house, my dad and I were cleaning out the garage, and I looked over to see him quizzically holding a coffee can with screwdriver sticking out as he ran his other hand thoughtfully through his hair...:)

Needless to say, I didn’t volunteer anything!
