Money to Burn

Want to make your friends think you have money to burn. If you are like most of us, you do not use dollar bills to light your fancy cigars. However with this simple experiment I found at Chemistry @ about.com you can make it appear that you are burning a dollar bill with out actually burning the money. The secret is soaking the money in a solution of 50% alcohol and 50% water. When you light the bill on fire the alcohol is actually burning and because the bill is wet the bill never catches fire. This is better use of money than most of the stuff I actually spend money on.

No games with money, no games... We should have more respect to it, treat it more seriously. Maybe only then we will have fewer problems and reduce the overall credit card debt we are in.
Though, I would also try such a trick...)))
