   Pretty neat! Here's one more: measure the span from the tip of your pinkie to to your thumb (fully stretched) and you have an instant ruler!

   The ketchup thing works well using just a butter knife, for those who didn't partake in the Mystery Sale, and don't have straws lying around.

   When I need to measure something quickly I use my thumb, the distance between my first & second knuckle is approx. an inch.
   Also, when I got to the "use peanut butter to get gum out of hair" tip all I could think of was the episode of the Simpsons when Lisa got gum in her hair.

    An addendum to that; if you don't have a digital camera, chances are good that Google street view has a picture of your house. Or that Microsoft's got an airplane flyby. Been using those for two years now.
