I'm finally getting around to making this thread. I wanted to see if there were going to be a few people who know some good things to know.

I'll start.

1. Do you hate it when your cookies go stale? crunchy? Here's a good trick to get them moist again. Take your cookies, put them in a tupperware (or any airtight container) and put a piece of bread on top before you put the lid on the container. Wait about one or two days, and open the container again, your cookies will be just as moist as when they first came out of the oven. I've also tried this with brownies.

2. If you work in a restaurant and want to impress your friends and also confuse them, this one is good. You can cook a piece of meat (or anything for that matter) in a deep fryer, without it touching the oil that is in the deep fryer. First, take the meat, or whatever you've got, Wrap it up in saran wrap as tight as possible (try to have no air pockets). Now this part really confuses the hell out of just about everyone. Watch their faces cringe as you put it in the deep fryer, they will think the saran wrap is going to melt, but it doesn't (don't ask me the science behind this one). When the meat is done, take the saran wrapped package out with a pair of tongs and there you have it, cooked meat and it never even touched the oil.

The head chef at my old workplace taught me the oil one, which of course I had the reaction of, "you're fucking crazy man, that saran wrap is gonna melt."

is there a purpose to cooking meat wrapped in saran wrap in a deep fryer other than to amaze and confuse your friends?

No not really, that's pretty much the whole point of it.

Whilst getting a blumpkin, put a sombrero on the girls head, pour salsa in the center and tostitos around the brim. Now you can eat chips and salsa while getting a blumpkin! Enjoy!

Pro-tip: As stupid as walmart employees are, they're not stupid enough to think that you bought that backpack with all the video games and electronics in it. Trust me.

Sure most people know this one - most lazy guys do anyway. Toss a wrinkled shirt/pants in the dryer for a few minutes instead of ironing them, saves time.

Wetting a towel and throwing it in with the wrinkled item will improve your results.

Next time you order a drink (cold) put some salt on the napkin that the drink sits on and it won't stick to the glass. Old bar trick, I use it every time.

Soak a sock or undershirt in warm water, lightly wring it out, then throw it in with the wrinkled garments on high for a couple minutes. GHETTO-PRESS!

When disposing of a human corpse, cutting the body into six pieces (head, arms, legs and torso) will make it more easily transportable and compact. Make sure the cutting of the body is done over large sheets of plastic to reduce the risk of blood staining anything in your house. While it is generally adviseable to bury the remains in plastic bags, if there is a wetlands or swamp that you can take the remains to, simply scattering them about will attract predators who will consume the remains much more quickly than simply leaving them to decompose. Wetlands are not typically frequented by people, so this can be an easy way to dispose of bodies without worrying about the remains being discovered.

When hunting lions, your best bet is to stay downwind of your target. Lions have a keen sense of smell, and can smell potential prey up to a kilometer away. Their eyesight is among the best of the large cats, so in many cases the lion will see you before you see it. Use a large caliber gun; in many African countries that allow the hunting of lions, it is illegal to use anything smaller than a .375 caliber bullet. Lions are most likely to attack when they are within 30 meters, so maintaining your distance is crucial if you can't line up a good shot.

When traveling by rickshaw, it is recommended you bring a map of the city outlining the quickest route between your current location and your destination. Rickshaw drivers will often meander, taking convoluted routes to drive up the meter, or taking you to local shops selling overpriced merchandise where the rickshaw drivers frequently receive compensation for delivering likely consumers. Be firm and tell them exactly where you want to go and exactly how much you will pay up front; if they realize they won't get extra money out of you, they will get you to your destination in a more timely fashion.

If you're upwind of the lion, it is downwind of you. Given its keen sense of smell, wouldn't the reverse be preferable?
