NYE o6

uhhh.. i'm not sure what to write. another new years eve. another party. another few stupid scenarios. what's new? note to self. NEVER give permission for silly string.

"Silly String was introduced in 1969 by the world renowned entrepreneur Julius Sämann, the inventor of pine-tree-shaped air fresheners for cars. It is polymer-based, likely on a polystyrene or methacrylate, dissolved in a CFC-based solvent that evaporates in the air and acts as a foaming agent. The pressure in the can propels the mixture a short distance of up to 10 feet. Some other alleged ingredients are a small amount of isopropyl alcohol, and plasticizers like dibutyl phthalate.
Silly String has been banned in the city of Marlboro, Massachusetts and a number of other places, and also at some public gatherings and events.
Silly String and similar products have long been used by American and British forces to detect tripwires for explosive booby traps. To use it in this manner, the soldier stands in the doorway and sprays the material over the suspect area. If the string falls to the ground there are no tripwires. However, if there is a tripwire, the string will be suspended in the air without pulling the wire. As of 2006 it is being used by U.S. troops in Iraq for this purpose."
