    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. ;)

    I take a picture of my keyboard when I take it apart to clean it.

    Tricks that will make you look smart… Like counting to 5 without using the number 3.

    You people who don’t have a clue need to learn how to click a link, to oh-I-dunno, get the full picture. Good lord, the internets is full of critics.

    And yes, the irony of my statement is not lost on me.

    Also, another simple trick to make you looks smart: read books.

    Hair spray? Sure I keep it right next to the rotary-dial phone.

    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.

    I thought that whole measuring your hand thing was to show how long your p#nis is.

    What if I’m fixing a digital camera?

    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.

    What’s with all the sarcasm? Gosh people…this is supposed to be helpful.

    I agree, Donna! These tips (I thought) weren’t meant to be politically correct.
