the site where you can find hundreds of funny, little-known uses for well-known
products like Alka-Seltzer*, Jell-O* and Slinky*.

battery corrosion, lube your stuck zipper or shine your shoes! Loosen rust
or clean the toilet with popular soft drinks. Turn that annoying old Slinky*
into a burglas alarm. And let's not even get started on the 50 things you
can do with baking soda!

and Pee-Wee Herman. His wackyuses web site offers bunches of info., books,
a newsletter, and message boards. So next time you need a fast retreat from
predictable thinking, this is the place!

''What a riot!! Everyone in the neighboring cubicles at
the office thinks it's hysterical. I even e-mailed a copy of the demo to
my boss and he busted out laughing.'' -- Matt
