Egg in bottle

Preparation


You have to use a shelled, hard-boiled egg for this trick. Try to get an egg which is free from cracks.
Find a bottle with a neck just small enough that the egg won''t fall in (a milk bottle, for example).



Instructions

Screw up a small piece of paper and drop it in the bottle. Alternatively, use two or three wooden matches. Light the paper or matches, and allow it to burn out.
Imediately place the egg in to the bottleneck.
The egg will be sucked in, making a very interesting sound in the process!


Explanation

To our minds, the egg is sucked in the bottle - but in fact, the egg is pushed in. The fire inside the bottle heats up the air, forcing some air out of the bottle and making the air inside the bottle less dense. After placing the egg on the bottleneck, the air begins to cool down again, and the air pressure outside forces the egg into the bottle.

ways to trouble your roomates

1.Every time you enter the room, sit in a chair, lean back too far, and fall over backwards. Laugh hysterically for about ten minutes. Then, one day, repeat the falling-over exercise, but instead of laughing, get up, look at the chair sternly, and say, "It''s not funny anymore!"


2.Read with a flashlight when the lights are on. Pretend to read without one when the lights are out. Remark every so often how great the book is.

3.Make toast for breakfast every morning, but don''t plug the toaster in. Eat the plain bread, looking at the toaster angrily, and complain that the toaster doesn''t know what it''s doing. If your roommate suggests plugging it in, go on a tangent about fire-safety hazards.

4.Pack up all of your things and tell your roommate that you''re going away to "find yourself". Leave, and come back in about ten minutes. If your roommate asks, explain that you''re not a hard man to find.

5.Never speak to your roommate directly. If you need to ask or tell them something, go to another room and call them on the phone.

6.Hang a picture of your roommate on the wall. Throw darts at it. Smile at your roommate often, saying things like, "How nice to see you again."

7.Get a can of beans. Label them, "Jumping beans." Eat them, and then jump around the room. Get another can of beans. Label them, "Dancing beans." Eat them, and then dance around the room. Get another can of beans. Label them, "Kill Your Roommate beans." Eat them, smiling at your roommate.

8.Every time your roommate falls asleep, wait ten minutes, and then wake him/her up and say, "It''s time to go to bed now."

9.Insist that your roommate recite the "Pledge Of Allegiance" with you every morning.

10.Recite "Dr. Seuss" books, all the time. Eventually, think up melodies for the words and sing them, loudly, directly to your roommate. If he/she tells you to stop, act offended and spend the day in bed.

11.Put up traffic signs around the room. If your roommate doesn''t obey them, give him or her a ticket. Confiscate something your roommate owns until they pay the fine!

12.Walk, talk, and dress like a cowboy at all times. If your roommate inquires, tell him/her, "Don''t worry little buckaroo. You''ll be safe with me."

13.Complain that your elbows, knees, and other joints have been bothering you. Get a screwdriver, and pretend to "fix" them.

14.Wear glasses, and complain that you can never see anything. Bump into walls and doors. Put your clothes on backwards. Say, "Who''s that?" every time your roommate enters the room. When you''re not wearing the glasses, act like you can see fine.

15.Buy a lava lamp. Stare at it for hours, imitating its movements with your face. Explain to your roommate that you have established a connection with the spirit world through the lava lamp. Tell your roommate that "Grandma said hi."

16.Keep empty jars on the shelf. Tell your roommate that this is your collection of "inert gases". Look at them often. One day, act surprised and angered, and accuse your roommate of having released one of the gases. Cover your nose and mouth and run out of the room.

17.Put headphones on your roommate while he/she is sleeping, and subliminally teach him/her to speak Spanish, play the trombone, and memorize all the major imports and exports of each African nation.

18.Dress like a military officer. Insist that your roommate salute you upon sight. If he/she refuses, insist that he/she do 100 push-ups. Keep saying things like, "Your momma isn''t here to take care of you any more."

19.Keep a collection of teeth in a jar. Act excited whenever you add to it, and say things like, "In a little while I''ll have enough for that sailboat."

20.Get a pet rabbit. At a designated time every day, take the rabbit into the bathroom and engage in loud shouting matches. If your roommate inquires, refuse to discuss the situation.

1st time college

With so many options available for college students, knowing how to make wise choices becomes critical for success. These eight tips can help set you up for a strong first-year experience.




1.Go to class. This is number one for a reason. College is an amazing experience, but you can't stay if you fail your courses. Missing class is one of the worst things you can do. Remember: your goal is to graduate. How are you going to do that if you can't even make it to class regularly?





2.Participate in events early on -- especially during Orientation. Let's be honest: not all events aimed at first-year students are super exciting. Tours of the library and silly-sounding mixers may not be your thing. But they connect you to the campus, help you meet people, and prepare you for academic success. So roll your eyes if you must, but go.





3.Don't go home every weekend. This can be especially tempting if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend at home or if you live close to your school. But going home every weekend prevents you from connecting with other students, getting comfortable with your campus, and making it your new home.





4.Take risks. Do things that are outside of your comfort zone. Never been to a program that explored a certain religion? Never tried a kind of food that's available in the cafeteria? Never introduced yourself to someone from a certain country? Step outside of your comfort zone and take some risks. You went to college to learn new stuff, right?





5.Sign up for a class you know nothing about. Just because you're pre-med doesn't mean you can't take a course in astronomy. Expand your horizons and take a subject you never even considered.





6.Learn how to say "no." This may be one of the most challenging skills to learn when you're first in school. But saying "yes" to everything that sounds fun, interesting, and exciting will lead you to trouble. Your academics will suffer, your time management will be horrible, and you'll burn yourself out.





7.Ask for help before it's too late. Colleges are generally pretty good places; no one there wants to see you do poorly. If you're struggling in a class, ask your professor for help or go to a tutoring center. If you're having a hard time adjusting, talk to someone in the counseling center. Fixing a smaller problem is almost always easier than fixing a big one.





8.Stay on top of your finances and financial aid. It can be easy to forget that appointment with the Financial Aid Office or that deadline by which you had to submit a simple form. If you let your finances slip, however, you can quickly find yourself in a lot of trouble. Make sure you're sticking with your budget throughout the semester and that you always know the status of your financial aid package.
