For those with No children-this is totally hysterical! For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious. For those who have children this age, this is not funny For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning. For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.

The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas: Things I've learned from my Children (honest & no kidding):

1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3. A 3-year olds voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh," it's already too late.

8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9. A six-year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

10. Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old.

11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12. Super glue is forever.

13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15. VCR's do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is.

19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24. The mind of a 6-year old is wonderful. First grade...true story: One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read,"..And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said...'Holy crap! A talking pig!'" The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

25. 60% of men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid
 
Oh how true.....however, my youngest is now sixteen and built like a brick outhouse, and you would be amazed at the velocity that a soccer ball reaches when he wants to practice bending it like Beckham. He bends it......through a window this afternoon, so don't laugh yet!!!

I don't know, but I'll confess I stopped and thought about that one awhile when I was reading the joke

Good stuff, so what is the ratio on that clorox brake fluid thing?

Experiment man!! Have you lost your sense of adventure???

Excellent post Scott - I would like to add however, that a women who marries an engineer doesn't need kids!

I can also testify to the fact that if you squeeze and massage those little ketchup packets from fast food places, for long enough and with the correct pressure, it is possible to hit the ceiling in a two story foyer... and it's not plastic toys I find in the oven, but car parts!

I tried several different ratios. Nothing happened. The fluid didn't even get cloudy. Literary license maybe?

That's not all a ceiling fan is strong enough for:

Ah but did you try Castrol LMA vs DOT 4? And what about DOT 5? ATE Super Blue? Is it DOT certified, or only for racing?
wink.gif
 
I couldn't get the brake fluid and cloros thing to work either. Maybe it is some exotic dot 5 racing brake fluid or soemthing. I was just using dot 3.

We used to use this every week to start the campfire at camp.
Use brake fluid and pool chlorine not chlorox (don't know what the diff is but it works) About 1 cup brake fluid to 1/2 cup chlorine. It takes a minute for the reaction but is quite flammable (inflammable?, I 've never understood which is correct).

Happy pyrotehnics
