Comment: I've heard from a co-worker that carbon paper can blur x-rays.
For example, if you send money through the mail, and wrap it in carbon
paper, if your letter gets x-rayed, the image of the money will be blurred
and the viewer will be unable to tell what is inside the carbon paper. It
sounds kind of strange to me. Is this true or not?

Comment: I have heard in several places, even on the radio, that a shard
of glass or the broken tip of a needle can travel through the blood stream
to the heart and kill you. Is there any truth to this? I understand that
it would be very rare, but has anyone actually been killed this way?

Comment: Can apples make you high? Someone told me there is an epidemic of
young people inserting sliced apples in their rectums to extract the THC.
Is this True, I have teenagers?

No, no, no, they are doing it all wrong. You don't use sliced apples. The conversion of natural chemicals in the apple skins to THC is accomplished by the differential heating of the apple from the skin inward. Of course, generally when you bake or boil an apple, there is no way to catch and get high from the THC. And if you slice the apples, the interior heats as fast as the skin, so the effect is lost. So what is needed is to insert the apples whole into one's rectum (or vagina, for those that have one), so that the body can capture the THC as it is released. The mucous tissues lining the rectum and the vagina are excellent for carrying chemicals to the bloodstream. For best effect one needs to use an apple grown in colder weather and with a maximum of skin, where the precursor to THC is concentrated - optimal would be something like a Jonagold, 5-6 inches diameter, but a Macoun or a Peasgold's Nonsuch are nearly as good. Of course any apple will do, though with smaller and warm-climate apples, one might want to use 4-5 for full effect.

As a general rule, I throw the food out when it crawls out of the can on its own. In the case of Spam, make sure you place the tied garbage bag in a sealed toxic waste container away from other perishable items, just to be on the safe side. Undead Spams have been known to escape from improperly-disposed-of garbage and go on killing sprees. Those poor sardines never had a chance.

It may be. Perhaps you could sell his stuff at a yard sale instead!

Comment: They are advertizing an inexpensive Viagra tablet on New York
radio stations (one station is WFAN 660 AM). The price is less than $100
for 40 tablets. Are the pills the real Viagra or are they counterfeit? In
other words do they work?

Comment: I was talking to a friend and he mentioned that he had heard that
if you soak a cigarette in hot water until the water looks like tea, then
add a lot of sugar to disguise the taste, it would have enough nicotine in
it to kill a man. He said he had heard about it when he was younger, but
didn't know if it was real or not.
