If I use Savlojn will it stop me getting viruses? (virii?)

at pink lipstick. would silver lipstick offer better results?

Yeah was just fun plus I think it'd beat toothpaste by a good 1c lol

I'm sure there's a web article I read once a few years ago testing house hold products as a replacement for thermal paste. Doubt any would work on the long term but some things did work without anything going bang!

EDIT: This isn't what I read, but is similar in terms of the items used!

Yeah, toothpaste lasts a few days, week at most. Of course you can't beat ArticSilver but for the short-team it works pretty damn good.

Haha some of the 'proper' paste is barely better than lipstick.

I really wish I had the time (and an expendable newish CPU in case things went pear shaped) to try all sorts of...substances in place of thermal paste and make a chart like this one. Maybe someone else should do it for my entertainment

I've just given that thread a proper read, it's amazing. Amazing and fantastic. I agree with the first response of 'someone give this man a nobel prize'.

You don't use the whole whale! Silly Billy.

Or do you put a whole chicken on your chicken burger?

Well there was that guy on "The Apprentice" 2 or 3 years ago who reasoned that 50 chicken pizzas required 50 chickens and promptly placed the order.

Have you done a control experiment and tried thermal paste on your teeth?

Methinks the mods need to lighten up. Deleting posts is childish.

bemaniac · 27 Jul 2012 at 17:25
