JH's corpse. Wish I could remember where I saw it (New Scientist possibly) but read somewhere lately that there is very little actual hard chemical evidence of drink spiking happening at all.
I used to have something similar for marking tools, only you had to hit it with a hammer which wasn't suitable for lots of things. Most of my power tools have our postcode burnt deeply into them with a soldering iron.
For branding school things like rulers and calculators - splendid.
Worrying that everyone so far has thought of it being used on flesh.
It's unlikely that you can increase ethanol's density significantly by combining it with other things - even if you can it's not going to be by much. More likely it'll bulk it up considerably.
So - a 35ml "single" measure of 40% vodka will have 14ml of ethanol in it. That's around three teaspoonfuls even if it's 1:1 bulk when "dried". That's a bulky pill.
I don't really understand using teak for furniture. It's OK for a door or something, but you often see it used for things like chairs - it's too brittle and weak across the grain for that - you can only use it in very dull designs where the grain is always long and in compression. No good at all for chairs that kids lean back on. I know, I've had to put 'em back together. Its oiliness makes it hard to make glued repairs.
I remember the queues before that was built. We got stuck for ages coming back past the Tarn - oooh, must be a dozen or more years ago. They were building it then - I remember the roadworks as well as the queues.
CE - yeah, I've considered the bible over the years and decided that it codifies some fairly obvious rules about how to behave and then dresses it up with a load of other baggage tacked on over the years by people trying to gain and hold power.
The core value of "Be nice to people" is worth having, but the rest is largely nonsense. That core value is not the unique propery of Christianity - near enough every religion has it, as do most atheists.
Some of us aren't interested. Probably many of us, possibly even most of us; but that has nothing to do with the media's perception of what a story is.
Tower Bridge is a bit of a sham, what you can see is almost entirely non-functional decorative stonework - the real work is done by the metal framework concealed within. Being mechanically minded I prefer bridges where you can see the forces at work - suspension bridges, girder bridges, trusses, arches all elemental.
I feel vaguely ashamed that the author felt bad for having paid £2 for it. Did she/he really need the money that much more than the stallholder in a poor country? Particularly since they say how great it is that people are being entrepreneurs.

It's neat though - wish I'd thought of it.
