    How was you Father's Day everyone?

    Was planning on talking to my son, but for reasons out of my control, my ex (his mother) decided he wouldn't be allowed to call me that particular day. The boy is only 5, so he can't argue his case. Its all about his mother and trying to get back at me.

    I don't want to make a career in math, I enjoy doing it and know that I will use it daily in engineering, but want to pursue the more hands on side of engineering.

    This product is known to the state of california to cause cancer

    California really is a special place isn't it? The same warning labels are on Gas Station pumps here in AZ. Whenever I am buying degreaser or any chemicals that are automotive related I always get the ones that say "Not for sale in California" because those are the ones that work really well

    What Are Some Unconventional Senior Pranks Involving Solar Panels and HHO Gas?

    I was in 8th grade getting ready to go to high school when the last senior prank was pulled that I am aware of. A bunch of kids went up into the mountain with trash cans and filled them with carp from the streams. They all got dumped in the school pool. If I remember right it was done on a...
