Today I learned a hair dryer can do more than warm a toilet seat.

Was anyone else aware of this?

They can also create thermals for mini hanggliders

there was a day when i thought that perhaps i could use a high-power hair drier to create a concentrated beam of heat by putting a funnel over the opening, and i wanted to use this concentrated beam of heat to soften the plastic on the frame of this pair of sunglasses that were too wide for my head, and with that plastic on the frames newly softened, i'd bend them so that they fit nicely. but i never was able to get a concentrated beam of heat. it's still something of a sore spot that my old friends bring up when they want to laugh at me.

This sounds like the makings of a Bond villian.

Anyone who has ever seen "The A-Team" knows that if you take garbage bags and duct tape them to lawn chairs and then turn on hair dryers inside said garbage bags, you can float right out of an insane asylum to freedom

When mixed with a bath, it can kill you.

Egadsman · 01-28-2005, 09:29 PM

Wow, this thing has more uses than baking soda.

I like to use hair dryers to clear up a foggy mirror when I'm in a hurry.

what makes you think it would get hotter going through a funnel lol

i was painting on the floor the other night and i had a candle down on the floor with me so i could blow the smoke into it cos i was sketchy cos my dad was home...anyway, janie knocked the candle over and all this hot wax melted onto my mom's oriental rug. i scraped a bunch of wax off with a knife after it hardened and then got my mom's hair dryer and some toilet paper and melted the wax and it absorbed into the toilet paper. and there's no ugly spot! yay
