I could do the plastic bag one, but that wouldn't work in my backyard. I don't have a lot of privacy there. ;D Guess I could take a solar shower in a swim suit.

When we were in school, I dont remember what grade we went outside with magnifying glasses for some kind of experiment (that I don't remember) but what I do remember is that we had the magnifying glasses and if you held them over grass or paper long enough in the sunlight eventually they would start smoking and even catch fire...what a nice thing to teach a class full of hoodlums...EXCLUDING MYSELF of course  |
