  • I think it mostly happens on accident. Most people aren’t scientists and so don’t know that anti-freeze tastes good or what it does to little critters who like to lick it up, and so folks leave it sitting around and they create situations where it can be easily licked up. Every jug of anti-freeze made after 1980 has a novel printed on the back explaining about how you shouldn’t let the nice critters lick up the anti-freeze, but no-one born after 1980 knows how to read a novel anymore.




  • I really like oxalic acid. You can dissolve it in water and drop a rusty locked-up pair of pliers into the mixture, and the next day it will be all freed up and moving. It leaves a weird yellow gunk behind, though. It’s got to be scrubbed off with steel wool. You can leave the pliers in there for a long time. I wonce left a pliers in there for ten weeks, and there was only minor pitting. I don’t know if the pitting is because of the oxalic acid or because of the chlorine in the tap water. And also you can drink it if you wnat to die like a dog.
