Wait, what? Puritans objected to hot water bottles?

Some did out of concerns that a warm squishy object like that might make people fantasize about another person in bed with them. I think it was puritans, maybe it was victorians. I heard it somewhere that someone objected to their use on the above grounds. That's the point you're supposed to take away from this Lynx... that hot water bottles are sinful. Quit confusing us with irrelevant details (like whoever thought such a thing).
 
I wonder the water bottle resistants think of cat's? They're warm and squishy and like to cuddle in bed with you.

Cats are evil of course. They're associated with witches and they kill cute innocent little creatures.
 
I was watching Outrageous Acts of Science earlier today. Some guy (idiot) poured a bathtub full of hot sauce and decided to sit in it, which of course irritated his skin. I hadn't yet had my second cup of coffee, so I was in a surly mood and made the comment out loud "If you really want to show how tough you are, you'd have an enema of that stuff", to which my Dad laughed himself into a coughing fit. I then had a thought:

Tabasco Enema would be an awesome name for a band.
 
Uh... what scientific fact was being proven by sitting in tabasco sauce?

Not sure. There are more and more just-plain-silly videos being commented upon on that show. Mr. Tabasco Jacuzzi, it seems, was just some simpleton that had the "bright" notion to do something outlandish and film it for Internet consumption. He's exactly the type of guy, I think, that makes a good case for the social class of eunuchs to be brought back into widespread practice.
 
Ever heard of the Darwin Awards? Such problems usually take care of themselves. ;)

Unfortunately for all of us though, the problem is usually solved AFTER the offender has peed in the gene pool. I'm proposing a proactive approach that would assess the viability of genetic stock at a pre-determined age, before they have much opportunity to further erode the genetic stock of the planet.
 
I thought there was already a solution to that problem - remove the warning labels from everything and let the problem solve itself.
 
Was talking with mom tonight and phone died and shut down. I plugged in charger and thought I will just call her back in 15 or so. I was knitting so didnt pay attention to the time I suppose.

The door bell rang and being that it was after dark and I was alone I didnt answer. They kept ringing and my boxer was going nuts so I peeked out upstairs window and saw a black SUV in street. Not wanting to answer as I have no peep hole. I turned on phone and saw several texts from mom worried. I texted her quickly to say I will call her in a few.

She responds with the police are at your front door.

Wow...nothing like explaining to an officer in your robe why you didnt answer the door and why your mom thought you were dead.

Im wide awake now!!
