Super Coke Pots

After a long morning of battling the masses shopping for their Thanksgiving dinner, I finally make it home with a very neat find. Coca-Cola’s Holiday 2008 bottles that are in the shape of, what I think was intended to be, a glass ball tree ornament.

I seen these in the store from a few hundred feet away and instantly I saw something different. It looks to me as if I found a grand stock pile of Super Healing Potions. See for yourself.

I got a good number of them to give to my local WoW friends and to drink myself. The shape of the bottle doesn't make for good flow, so it’s a little difficult to drink. My wife made the best comment by saying if only Pepsi did the same thing, then she would have her Super Mana Potions.

Silly casters.

For years I have been using this system to focus myself while I'm low on energy or just flat out tired.

I call it the "fakir nap".

To start out you have to understand what I mean by "letting go". Close your eyes and think about anything other then what you are doing or where you are at this second.

Let yourself go, then as soon as you feel your self slip out, jerk your body and violently snap "awake" and act like your worried that you overslept. Go as far as to scramble for the time. If done right you will be fully awake.

Clean and Clear

Last night during another long season of playing World of Warcraft I gained a level and received a message saying how
long I have been playing the game. It logged me at playing for 36 days 17 hours and 36 mins.

Sadly this is total time logged on with this character, meaning I have spent 881.5 hours of my life logged into the game.


If I was to spend just as much time on somthing constructive, I would have accomplished something by now.

After alot of thought, I decided to delete all my gear, gold, and newly level 69 priest.


So today marks day one of being clean and clear, WoW free.

How to make a penny worth two cents.

In the middle of 1982, the US mint changed the composition of a penny from 95% copper and 5% zinc to 97.6% zinc and 2.4% copper. The change was made to reduce the cost of the raw metal back down closer to one cent. Every penny made before 1982 is still made with more then one cent worth of copper.


How much is the older penny worth?

We know that a penny from 1962 to mid 1982 weights about 3.04 grams and copper on the open market goes for $2.97175 per lbs. (as of 03/15/2007).

After a good talk with our BFF, “OMGMATH” we see each penny can be melted down and sold for almost $.02 at current copper prices. Now that you have all your old pennies collected, you have to find somewhere to sell them. Find your local recycling center and ask them about selling scrap copper. They will give you a price that you will find to still be above one cent per penny. The trick to selling these pennies as scrap is you have to melt them down into blocks or bars before you take them to the recycling center.

Most people will think at this point that melting of metal is beyond their ability. You can make a simple forge out of a shop-vac and store bought charcoal with the ability to get hot enough to melt copper (about 1083 degrees Celsius). There are tons of resources online. Pick one and go with it.

Keep in mind, destroying us currency is illegal, but thats only because they are haters and don't want you to get paid!
