TV 101

Things I have learned from late night TV:


-Heinz Ketchup bottle, the glass kind, has a number 57 engraved on the neck of the bottle. If you tap on the number (the number works as an air bubble) the ketchup starts flowing out of the bottle. Who knew!!!! All those times in the restaurants I have tapped the BOTTOM, or used a knife to get the ketchup flowing. And now I find out from Jay Leno that there was a method to the glass bottle madness all along. I haven't tried the trick yet, so I can't say this really works, but why would Jay Leno lie?

-If you have a smaller face, and somebody is taking your picture, don't bite down your back teeth because it makes your face look squished. Well, I don't have a small face, just a block head, but I tried it, and it works. My face doesn't seem so blocky when I do that. Thanks to Paulina Porizkova.

-Human hair shouldn't be used on clothing. If you missed the Project Runway episode last night, you can catch it a million times on Bravo TV.

-Fake boobs can be used as flotation devices. Proof can be seen on any "Survivor" episode.

Sorry, Kristine.

I knew about the ketchup bottle (it works for any glass bottle shaped like that with any substance) because I learned it in Physical Science at Ricks and it really does work. You just have to tap towards the back of the bottle to loosen any air bubble. (I also learned how to lay on a bed of nails and get a cinder block smashed open on your chest and not die (something about the size of the nails and your weight) AND how to put a dent in a full BIG metal juice can by smashing it over your first finger (Be sure you miss the seam).

I think that I saw on Mythbusters that fake boobs actually are NOT coast guard approved flotation devices, but I agree, any Survivor episode sure makes that look like a possibility.

Sounds like I missed a great Jay Leno. I hate it that it comes on so late up here.

I love Leno. I will be really sad when he is done.

I am going to have to try the picture thing. I kind of tend to have the "fat, squished cheek" look when I smile in pictures...

Too bad photo shop can't fix everything. We could all be supermodels if it did!!!

Hmmm. . . I must speak from my personal experience of having built-in flotation devices. They really do give some buoyancy in the water, but not enough to keep afloat. The bad part is if you have only one (I know this from experience as well) then it makes you float lopsided and feel like you should be swimming in circles.

The human hair was so disgusting!
