What did you do with the rusty soup?

Another science experiment.

When I was a kid, the old man up the street had the biggest oak tree that I had ever seen. He told me that they threw a keg of nails in the hole with the tree when they planted it, and that's why it grew to be so massive.

We have some lilac bushes that aren't doing that well. Never blossom. So I dumped the nasty water on one of them. It may kill it, which is OK with me, or it may make it grow like crazy.

Keep your windows locked and the kids inside when the moon is full. :unsure:

Yes, it's flammable, but a match wouldn't ignite it and the torch only ignites it when you get real close. Imagine what a torch would do to a pile of plane shavings. It's all relative.

I used to work in an electro plating factory in the 70's and we used a similar idea for cleaning screws bolts etc before plating, but on a bigger scale of course we used barrels which turned in a caustic solution, the barrels were moved and lifted with an overhead crane.
Any way about being flammable the plating solution used to have a gas floating on the top of the solution which was taken away by fans however when the screws or whatever were plated you shut off the electricity and lifted the barrel to rinse, however if you forgot to shut of the juice Kaboom!!! a huge bang and flames, certainly woke you up on a Monday morning
