Wash with detergent and a 1/2 cup of Borax.  Pre-soak extra tough stains for at least 30 minutes before washing.  Don't eat the Borax. 

If the garment isn't really worth keeping, place soiled garments at the bottom of a garbage bag and keep an eye out for the overpaid garbage man.

Well, birds don’t have a bladder and any fluids they consume make their way, via the kidneys, to a device in the lower intestine called the cloaca.  Anyways, this combines liquids waste with solid waste to make the watery droppings you find on your car in the mornings.
 

According to Sentence 7.4.2.1.(1) every fixture shall be connected to a sanitary drainage system with exceptions listed in clauses a) to g) and specifically clause c) which permits fixtures that discharge clear water waste may be connected to a storm drainage system.

1. Would the Code technical committee have opinions or experience regarding the discharge of “holy water” to a place of disposal?
    
2. Would the “holy water” located in a “tub” type receptacle as mentioned above be considered as sewage or clear water waste?

-B from LaSalle

1. Those on the committee that have some experience with these types of fixtures have not had any concerns with discharging to sanitary.  Also you can have them discharge to a Class 2 sewage system independently from the other sanitary drainage system in the building.
    
2. It seems apparent that in Part 1 of the Building Code the discharge from these fixtures would fall under sanitary sewage however we do agree that the waste water from these fixtures also comply with clear water waste definition so I guess if the connection to the sanitary drainage system was an issue we would not have any concerns applying 7.4.2.1.(1)(c).

I hope this doesn't deter you from going to church.

If so can you get a supplement at the Health Food Store or Pharmacy? I read your article on staying fit and healthy. Do any of the MacDonald's combos offer vitamin G?

-K from Windsor

It can't really be bought under the counter because some of the side-effects can lead to addiction.  I've heard it with my own ears that customers say, "I got to have it.  Oh, God, I have to have it now"  all crazy-like.  "G" just doesn't stand for good.  But I'm afraid there isn't too much to go around.  Like any natural resource, it can dwindle in quantity (never in quality), so it's on a very selective first-served/first-come basis.  Can't just be wasting the G!

McDonalds offers a very good supply of Vitamin G...if I happen to be there at the same time.

Thanks for writing.

There's a few ways to answer your question:

1 - Look both ways before crossing the street (making sure your eyes are open), and hopefully in turn, miss any busses you may walk into;
2 - Stay inside your house and never leave again;
3 - Don't piss off a bus driver
4 - Unless you're not on fire, you could always give up smoking (not recommended).
5 - Give your cigarette to your friend; they'll get hit instead.

Now if the bus is smoking, you should run away from the bus because it might blow up.

I hope this answered your question.  Thanks for writing.

What is Rhadamanthys?

- John from Texas

Rhadamanthys was the son of Europa and Zeus, and the brother of Minos and Sarpedon.  According to one tradition, he married Alcmene after the death of her husband Amphitryon.  Others say that he was one of the three Judges of the Dead and lived in the paradise of Elysium, in the far west.

I hope that clears some things up.

Had the nuclear reactions within Jupiter become self-sustaining as they did in the Sun, the two objects may have become a double star of the type that exist elsewhere in the galaxy.  However, Jupiter failed as a star and gradually began to cool and to collapse to its present size.  To its credit, Jupiter itself radiates just as much energy as it receives from the Sun.

Now, there's a Great Red Spot that doesn't need a sweater tied around its waist.
