Joseph asks…

Things to learn from children, you gotta love them…..?

A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 square foot house 4 inches deep.

If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

A 3 year old child’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape.

If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan and tie it to a paint can, it does spread paint on all four walls of a 20×20 room.
You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on.

When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit.

A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

The glass in windows (including double pane windows) doesn’t stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

When you hear the toilet flush along with the words “uh oh,” it’s already too late.

To be continued…..
Got a crazy neice and nephew……

LOL that was funny. I like the last one

Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke (and lots of it).

A six-year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

Certain Lego blocks will pass through the digestive tract of a 4 year old.

Play-Doh and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

Super glue is forever.

No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool, you still can’t walk on water.

Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

VCRs do not eject sandwiches, even though TV commercials show they do.

Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

You probably don’t want to know what that smell is.

Always look in the oven before you turn it on.

Plastic toys do not like ovens.

The fire department in my town has a 5 minute response time.

The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

The spin cycle on the washing machine does make cats dizzy, however.

Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

lol I dont have a kid,just found this on the net

admin answers:

The Waterbed Joke could not be more false. A waterbed cannot fill a 2000 square foot house 4 inches deep. Especially since the beds are only 6 x 7 in Cal. King the biggest size and are only 8.5 deep. That would barely cover 85 square feet at four inches deep.

What is the weight and measurements of a waterbed. Check out this blog.

Your Questions About Batman Capes

April 28, 2012

Thomas asks…

How Do Batman And Robin’s “Para-Capes” Allow Them To Glide?

I know that Dick and Damian designed these so-called “para-capes” to allow them to glide, but how exactly do the capes allow them to do it? Is it like the cape in Batman Begins, where a jolt of electricity stiffens it? Or is it something else?

I’m sure this was mentioned somewhere in the comics; I just can’t remember.

admin answers:

I’m pretty sure you could offer a combination of piezo-electric materials (the “jolt of electricity” bit) with rigid elements in the cape designs (boning, wired parts) to explain it. Aerodynamics isn’t the full problem with the design.

Anyone who has seen the _Tomb Raider_ films knows this–an actual suit exists that uses para-sail technology inspired by real-life flying squirrels and it works. Humans can drop from a height and glide in those things. That’s not the problem.

Landing safely is the problem. In a real-life scenario you get some serious speed going on as you glide, and then have to find a way to shed the lifting wing and slow down _quickly_ as you need to slow down before you can use the parachute.

In the comic books, I have to assume that some degree of poetic license is in play, that the Batman knows a trick that lets him get away with perfect, injury-free landings with the technology. The alternative–having serious air-bags in the body armor–just doesn’t seem to happen, like ever.

I hope this helps.

Helen asks…

would phillip seymour hoffman be Penguin in the next Batman movie?

In the next batman (Caped Crusader) will Phillip Seymour Hoffman play the penguin?
what about johnny depp playing The Riddler?

admin answers:

To the previous answer – I find that funny since Devito played the Penguin back in the 90’s as well as Jim Carry playing the Riddler there’s no way you didn’t know that

Your Questions About Batman Capes Children

April 24, 2012

Chris asks…

What’s the worst disclaimer you’ve ever seen on a product or commercial?

You know, since little old ladies sue McDonalds for hot coffee being spilled in their laps and such, companies have to put disclaimers on everything now.

I saw one a while ago for a Batman cape, showed the child swooping down on his friend or brother or whatever, and a small caption popped up and said “Toy does not enable child to fly”. Is this sort of thing really that out of hand?!

The medical ones are the worst. Heartburn medicine may cause temporary blindness. Wonderful!

admin answers:

On a box of “White Flyers” clay pigeons:

Note – Pigeons do not fly unaided by launching machine.

Taken out of context, I thought it was pretty funny.

John asks…

Did Catholic pastor touch me inappropriately, and should I blackmail?

Back when I was in grade school our family had a good relationship with our Church’s pastor. I will used the made up name “Father Benjamin” to protect both the pastor and any other children/adults with similar allegations. Every time I saw Father Benjamin, he would whisk his alb (batman-like cape Catholic priests wear) around around me, grab my hand and bring me in for a hug. Now, this is where it gets strange as Father Benjamin would start rubbing my back, and often times my backside. No one could really see what was going on because the alb would hide all of his hand movements and I just assumed getting groped was part of the routine since I was only a child. I still have Father Benjamin’s contact information and am thinking about blackmailing him for a large sum of money, or at least some nice bottles of wine… Is this a smart idea? The plan seems flawless as I can’t see any potential problems arising from it.

admin answers:

“Backside” … What a crazy SOB you are! I think maybe you should call up Father Benny and the Jets and go out for a quick drink !

Your Questions About Phantom Of The Opera Costume Ideas

April 14, 2012

George asks…

Need a unique Halloween costume idea for a 5 yr old boy!?

Every year, my husband makes our son’s Halloween costume. He’s very talented and can make just about anything. We can’t seem to think of a good costume idea for him this year.

This is what he has been over the year’s:

1st-Chicken hatching out of an Egg(We decorated a front baby carrier to make it look like the egg and then we dressed him in a yellow turtle neck, yellow tights, made webbed feet, and a hat that had feathers on top of it! Super cute!)
2nd-The Phantom of the Opera(found a tuxedo for his size at a yard sale for $5.00 and went with the idea)
3rd-Oompa Loompa from Willy Wonka
4th-The Hamburglar

We love unique ideas. Any suggestions and please keep any/all rude comments/ideas to yourself.

Thanks

Mandy asks…

Which Costume Should I Wear for Which Occasion?

Ok, I’ve got two opportunities to wear a costume- one is for a church party- we’re going “reverse trick-or-treating” to hand out candy in neighborhoods on Friday. The other is of course Halloween, at my house to hand out candy to whoever shows up. It’s western themed or whatever you want to wear (I’ve got nothing western, so I’m doing my own thing).

I’ve got a nice renaissance outfit- all black, tall boots, cape, rapier, etc that I was thinking of wearing some vampire teeth with. I could say “western Europe” and make a joke of it…

I’ve got all I need to dress up as The Crow (leather pants, my old combat boots, leather trench-coat, etc) I pull it off well and won a contest in the past), and just found a wig that will work. I’d have to shave my beard though… should I do it even though I’ll just be home alone?

A blacked out mask and death costume with skeleton gloves.

Which to wear on which day?

I’m asking this again because in P&S people told me to dress up as the Phantom of the Opera- although I like that idea, I can’t do it this year…
Dawn, what the heck? I thought we were enjoying the playful banter, and then got blocked! (ouch) at least get to know me first?
Yay! Well, I guess I can shave my beard for Halloween and grow it back in a little while (if at all) like you suggested…

It might lead to another question as to whether or not I should keep it.

admin answers:

Meh

Sharon asks…

how to throw a costume party?

Ok pleas help me i really want to throw a costume party not really for halloween i have a grate costume and i love dressing up what should i do for like activities i mean i like hanging around but that gets boring does anybody have any ideas? i do not wand it to be all like ghosts and goblins i like like Phantom of the Opera and Lord Of the rings , Eragon kinda stuff pleas help Me!!!! thanks

Jessie
hey Candy:] did you read my post or just the name?? But thanks anyway

admin answers:

1. Plan the party and decide on whether you want to have a theme.

2. Invite all everyone to come in costume. Put both a start time and an ending time on invitations. Make sure to put the RSVP date atleast one week before the party.

3. Make sure you have enough money for all the supplies.

4. Decorate to a full-scale haunted house.

5. Put out all the food and know when to order.
**********************************************************************
Decoration Ideas:

Decorate with anything from creepy paper streamers and balloons to a full-fledged house of horrors. Get small plates, forks and napkins in Halloween colors. Decorating for your Halloween party will be one of the most fun parts of your party planning. Adorn your party room with fake cobwebs, carved pumpkins and plastic skeletons. Decorate your front yard with styrofoam cutouts to make a graveyard. Hang orange and black creepy paper throughout the house and dim the lights — have your party by candlelight instead (but keep candles out of reach of children). Your Halloween party decorations can take on any part of this special holiday that you’d like–from spooky to festive fall leaves.

Food Tips:

Snack foods go well with Halloween parties. People aren’t expecting a sit-down meal, but you should have more available than chips and dips. Provide finger foods such as cheese and crackers, popcorn, pretzels, cocktail wieners or meatballs, veggies and dip, deviled eggs, finger sandwiches. Buffalo wings are always a hit and, if you want to be dull and boring, you can always order pizza. But why not make some scary looking Halloween specialties that have the look that screams Halloween? Make sure you have ALOT and enough drinks for everybody attending.

Music Tips:

Get your guest in the Halloween spirit by playing spooky music. Buy a CD of Halloween tunes or haunted house sounds (creaking doors, screams and scary cackles). If you’d like just make the music is current and fun.

Game Tips

No spooky party is complete without a few Halloween party games. You can do awards for costumes, have a dance off, play truth or dare, do racing relays, flashlight tag, hide and seek around the block (have everyone wear glow sticks.) ding dong ditch people, use the creepy oujia board, do tarot cards, play ghost in the graveyard, spin the bottle, bob apples, ten fingers, scavenger hunt and maybe have a bonfire. Just ask your friends what they would like to do.

Have fun & A happy halloween! ( iknow its early.. )

Your Questions About Costume Capes

April 1, 2012

Joseph asks…

I am 13 and I need help with the finishing touches on my costume?

I’m being red riding hood for Halloween and I have the costume, A store bought gingham dress and short cape, white cotton tights, black slippers with red buttons on them And a picnic basket with little flaps and a checkered cloth inside to hold candy. I don’t know how to do my hair or make up for the costume, it’s dirty blonde and very fair, its just past my shoulder. I have pale skin and gray blue eyes. Any suggestions?

admin answers:

For you hair:
Curl your hair, and then when the hoods of the cape is up tuck it slightly behind. If you don’t want to curl if you could also put it in a low ponytail,then you could curl the sides. But I wouldn’t make it too curly, more like waves. All you have to do is take pieces of you hair and wrap it around the curling iron instead of putting it in the clamp section. You could also use a straightener to curl you hair if you don’t have a curling iron. If you don’t want either of the two looks I would suggest a messy bun or just a regular ponytail.
For your makeup:
I would go for more of a natural look, it’s not like little red riding hood wore makeup anyways! Put on some mascara, eyeliner if you want to but I wouldn’t (more natural) I would put on some blush so your cheeks look rosy. Don’t use brown blush. Use either red or pink. For you lips wear red or pink. You can do any type of makeup you want, and hair. Since you have the costume and it sounds good, just do what you like. Good luck! Your costume sounds good!
