    Found this on a local Mustang Club's site.

    RAISING BOYS

    a) For those with no children - this is totally hysterical!

    b) For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.

    c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny

    d) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.

    e) For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.

    The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas.

    Things I've learned from my Boys (not kidding):
    1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.
    2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
    3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
    4.) 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. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.
    5.) 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.
    6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
    7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.
    8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
    9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can
    10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.
    11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
    12.) Super glue is forever.
    13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
    14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
    15.) VCR's do not eject "PB &J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
    16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
    17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
    18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
    19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
    20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.
    21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
    22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
    23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
    24.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.
    25.) Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids

    I would be c)

    I have three boys and I am proud to say that none of those things have been a problem in my household. Then again, sparing the rod has always been a trump card that I have to use once in a while.

    Well, take a break from Xboxing and find and empty field to test that sucker out. Bring the cat, he/she can be like one of the canaries they used to use in mines.

    I would not mix the two together until someone showed me what is released in that reaction... Chlorine gas burns the skin and my gut tells me that is whats happening

    feel free to work it out and prove me wrong, however... I'd do it myself but I don't know whats in brake fluid+ my high school chemistry is rusty
