Just wanted to show you a trick that I learned from my uncle (he's kinda mad scientist :whistle: ). Supposing you were doing something and get dirty and there's no soap but you're too lazy to go to the shop or it's late at night and everything's closed. [color=red]Note: If you're animal protector or something stop read this now.[/color] No seriously , I mean it. All you need is : a naked snail ( more than one ) , NaOH (works with a washing powder too but you'll have to wait and don't think the snail will stay and wait) and gloves ( not really necessery). First of all assume that your hands are dry , I repeat : DRY , If your hands or gloves get dirty from the acid the last thing you can do is to go and wash them. NaOH is a strong acid which react with the sweat , so assume you are dry . And don't forget it! Now dust the naked snail with the acid. It's possible the snail divides in two parts or a strange brown substance beat out from it , don't touch it! Wait 5 minutes or more till the snail stops to move and become solid ( it looks like a jelly). Now you have soap , you can put it in your bathroom and wash your hands with it , it's 99% natural ( don't forget about the acid). Or better send me a message if something went wrong , I'll ask my uncle for advace. I still think that I should have an "A" or at leat a "B" in chemistry.... : :twisted: ----------------------------------- Visitor Sunday, 07 August 2005, 10:08 PM ----------------------------------- Another advace :[b] [color=red]Don't try this on people!

Only snails! [color=red]Not people! [/color]:nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: ----------------------------------- Visitor Sunday, 07 August 2005, 10:18 PM ----------------------------------- Oh! How stupid I am ! NaOH is alkali (-OH group hydroxide) not acid! Sorry! :roll: :roll: :roll: ----------------------------------- Visitor Sunday, 07 August 2005, 10:32 PM ----------------------------------- Acid or base, it will still burn you. Just the same danger.

An interesting lesson of chemistry erenda :lol: (Tormie thinks that his dirty hands are beautiful as they are :whistle: ) :prrr: ----------------------------------- Visitor Sunday, 07 August 2005, 11:02 PM ----------------------------------- I was thinking you'll say how bad I am... :oops: :oops: :oops: ----------------------------------- Tormie Sunday, 07 August 2005, 11:11 PM ----------------------------------- Oh, you're not bad :) , who said that :nono: ? I don't think you really used snails to prove the theory (all the snails in Tormies garden awake suddenly :uuh: ) ----------------------------------- Tormie Sunday, 07 August 2005, 11:13 PM ----------------------------------- Anyway please don't torture animals, try it with your teacher instead, I think it will be cool to wash your hand wth a teacher's finger... ----------------------------------- Visitor Sunday, 07 August 2005, 11:23 PM ----------------------------------- I used snails , my uncle wached it . (For the record he started first!) Hey that's a very good idea to use the teacher! :) :) :) :) :) ----------------------------------- Visitor Sunday, 07 August 2005, 11:26 PM ----------------------------------- By the way I have heard some stories about WWII , nazis and soap... :mmmh: :mmmh: My history teacher said it was immpossible ! What she knows.. ----------------------------------- Tormie Monday, 08 August 2005, 07:20 AM ----------------------------------- Poor snails :sad: :crying: :crying: :crying: ... (Tormie gives a fresh leaf to his snails near the garage) ----------------------------------- Visitor Monday, 08 August 2005, 07:32 AM ----------------------------------- Poor teachers I might add ... :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: ----------------------------------- Visitor Monday, 08 August 2005, 08:39 AM ----------------------------------- :roll: :lmao: Pangor ----------------------------------- TdaC Monday, 08 August 2005, 10:35 AM ----------------------------------- :uuh: doesn't sound nice, who wants to wash their hands with a jelly blob :prrr:
