It's not important to start the chainsaw, having it in the hotel lobby is usually enough.

Good call, Robbie.

Growing up in South Africa I learned that cow dung is often used to finish flooring in mud huts.
Go figure. :shock:

Well if you could see in the dark it maybe worth it.

I wouldn't do it though, but I'm sure some would.

According to Aztec tradition, one drinks one's pee after ingesting the Fly Agaric (red with white spots, and deadly in quantities larger than 3 medium sized specimens).

A friend tried it years ago, and did the biz.
He claimed to be seeing halos around all the street lights in Ringwood.
I pointed out to him the fact that it was a clod, misty winters' evening. :lol:

I heard a similar story by a comedian. He would dream he was doing these hysterically funny stand-up routines, so he decided to keep a little tape recorder by his bedside so he could wake up and record the routines he dreamt before he forgot them. He said the first morning after he had done just that, he woke up and eagerly rewound the tape recorder to hear what gems he had dictated that night. When he pressed play all that was on the tape was incoherent, unintelligible rambling! :D
I have had dreams where I sang a song and woke up and wrote it down. Some of them were the start of a few good songs, thats funny. Wish I could sing as good as I do in my dreams. Wish I could fly like in my dreams too.
