Many years ago I had a dog that was cool with cats until one slapped him across his nose, from that moment on he hunted and killed every cat he could get hold of. JD
#5 - "I saw what you did there human - I'm going to bark at nothing ALL night long !!"
#6 - I've installed a set of door like that in a Morman meetinghouse - there is quite a bit of trouble and expense to them. Especially keeping the rain from flowing under the threshold - floor MUST be sloped away from that edge.
#8 - What kind of sorcery - mind fuckery is that ?
#8: Borosilicate glass (that is, real lab pyrex) and glycerin. Both have a refractive index of 1.474. Used to do that demo for a pharmaceutical analysis class. Even more fun if you use a pyrex stand and a great honkin' ball bearing, and have it "float" in the liquid...and ask for explanations. You will get everything but something involving refractive index.
There are other liquids that work, too- but glycerin is an almost perfect match, and not as toxic as the others.
Note: it must be borosilicate glass! The kitchen crap labelled Pyrex today is not. It's now chemically stressed to make it more durable, but it's not the Pyrex of years ago. More like Corelle. Real borosilicate glass is more expensive, so it got replaced decades ago, except for labware. In that use, it really does matter. And chemists can tell.
#8 is simply a case of a liquid having exactly the same refractive index as the smaller glass (probably Pyrex) beaker, so that light doesn't bend when passing from liquid to glass to liquid again. (I say "simply" because I have no idea what sort of liquid that actually is.)
They film #2 in Nashville or Memphis? I was in Memphis back in the early 80's. Even back then all the car lots were behind razor wire topped fences and they stored all the hubcabs in the garage, installing them after you bought the car.
#2 Must be a natural thing for monkeys to steal hubcaps or better yet, the whole car. #3 Why I hate cats. #6 I've installed several of these through the years although I try and talk people out of them. They may be great in the right climate but in northern Michigan they suck!
#6 reminded me of one of my most embarrassing moments. A set of these doors had been installed between the control booth and equipment space of an MRI scanner suite I was in the process of installing. The doors were brand new and the glass had that stick-on brown paper stuck over it for over a week while we finished the machine installation. Then one day, while we were at lunch, someone came and peeled the paper off of the glass. Now, you should know that glass is never again as clean as it is right after that paper is removed. I came back from lunch and walked head-long right into that glass door. I wasn't injured (except for pride) and that was a good thing because the very first thing I did was look around hoping no one had seen me.
#6. Try that in the South. Be dead by mosquitos, chiggers, ticks, ants, spiders, snakes, raccoons, possums, panthers, bears, hogs, yard monkeys, household apes and other unwanted pests in two hours.
People in California piss me off when they complain they can't open their houses during X season for Y reason. Try living in a place where you have mosquitoes until it gets below freezing (and the bugs only really die when it's been a hard freeze.)
