Possible Superpower Identified I have reason to believe that Baby McEwen may have laser vision, or the ability to emit microwaves. Observe exhibit A: This was an ordinary bottle of hand sanitizer that has been living in my purse. Last week I pulled it from the bag to find it deformed due to severe melting in some past time. My purse also contained a chapstick and a secondary bottle of hand sanitizer (for emergencies, in case this bottle was ever out of commission, WHICH TOTALLY HAPPENED see?) Neither of those things, or any of the other things in the purse, seemed to have been melted at any time. So whatever destroyed this bottle was more focused than ambient heat. I haven't been doing any radiation related experiments since I have been pregnant so the only logical conclusion is that Baby McEwen himself melted the bottle. I haven't noticed any scars so I am pretty sure he shoots the laser beams from the center of my belly-button (Death Star style) to melt targets. This repo...

So, does anybody remember Myrtle? She was the car whose back window exploded due to an aerosol can ? Guys, she is totally for sale on KSL! We sold her to Pedro for $300. He said he just wanted to use her transmission, which was really the only part of her that wasn't in need of a major overhaul. I guess he just couldn't bear to dismantle a beauty like her: It is 100% Myrtle. Notice her super cool missing hub-cap and faded paint pattern! Also, from the rear-view you can see where her window blew up and damaged the car: You will also notice that Pedro falls under my "Crazy Fraudster" classification based on his writing style ; shouting at you in all capital letters, creative punctuation, and heinous grammar. This confirms my prejudice against KSL ad writers because Pedro is totally lying. It is possible that he replaced all of Mrytle's guts and she no longer breaks down at lights, dies when the gas pedal is pressed too suddenly, coughs up soot, rattles and shakes, o...

You Guys, Mythbusters is not Real Science! In their "Aerosol Bazooka" episode the Mythbusters concluded that an aerosol can would not explode in a hot car. Lies Lies Lies! Don't be fooled by the TV my friends. An aerosol can is totally capable of exploding even on an 80 degree day. P.s. Anyone looking to buy a '92 Saturn? The air conditioning doesn't work, but it is very well ventilated.

A Potato GUN ? As promised, here are the pictures of our potato cannon, Darth Steve. (We named him Steve, after the Lowe’s worker-man who had apparently never heard of this concept and was reluctant to help us, but he had to because that’s his job wah-ha!) Here are all the parts that Steve didn’t want to help us find. Bryce figured out the correct proportions with an Excel spreadsheet, smart eh? Here is my handsome Honeybub figuring out our trigger. This is me gluing up the pieces, (the glue has a cute puff-ball applicator!) And this is the glued together body. A potato gun has three main components, a barrel, an explosion chamber and a trigger that makes a spark in the explosion chamber. Bryce wanted to take it a step further by adding a pressure gauge. We also added a ball-valve so we could keep the explosion away from our propane tank, thus preventing it from being a combination potato-gun/pipe-bomb. Finally I painted some flames on Steve’s barrel to make him more Darth. And here we...
