Wish she was running for President.

As a kid I'd hate to have her as my mother. I wouldn't be able to play with matches or hop trains or walk across the railroad bridge over the Delaware river or throw snowballs at moving cars or skip catechism or shoot girls in class with paper clips and rubber bands just to get their attention...

That's crazy. Anyone selling one that's used for it's designed purpose would be guilty of assisting suicide both criminally and civilly. Besides, who needs a kit to get a plastic bag, rubber band, and short hose?

That said, two tanks does seem like overkill in that situation....but then again, why be frugal at that point? If I was going to gas myself, I would rather use acetylene....go out with a bang!

I used to use paperclips and rubber bands.

Telstra could use a few billion of them to fix their copper network. Should work better than chewing gum, rubber bands, twist ties, zip ties and silicone.

edit: I'm an idiot. See @eric3579's comment.

How so? First up, a passenger car wouldn't be travelling nearly as fast (or at least, you'd hope not).

Second, many modern passenger cars have side impact beams and curtain airbags.

You'd probably get injured, but I think you'd have to be pretty unlucky to be "maimed or killed".

And that guardrail is functioning exactly as designed. The connections to the ground are designed to break, but the rail itself acts like a giant rubber band. *engineering

When I was a kid I used to stretch and relax a rubber band across my forehead and feel the change in temperature. (We did weird things to pass the time/boredom in the pre-internet era).

Reminds me of Idiocracy.

I guess they forgot to tie giant rubber bands around the two halves to keep them standing together.

You don't have to push it back together with your hands. You can slide a spatula underneath to lift and shift.

I think it would still be an improvement without the help of a rubber band.

I still don't get how they can cut all those rubber bands continuously while underwater at 300 C

Works better outside in daylight than indoors in the dark...

Try a paper with two holes - you can even fit it with a rubber band!

Or - try a slit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_snow_goggles
