I accidentilly discoverd that Tire Foam makes concrete waterproof. You can write "secret messages" on concrete sidewalks that only get revealed when the sidewalks get wet!

Wow I could play with that stuff all day.

btw, it's jury-rigged, not jerry-rigged :disgust:

That could be a great way to mess with people.

my question is - would the paper be bio-degradeable? suck for the future generation when they have to clean up this mess.

If we can make it, we can reprocess it.

Jerry-rigged is used so much that it is listed on dictionary.com. Sure, jury-rigged is better.

no need to "sigh" since it is a valid and first question that pop up in my mind. btw, it will a long ass time before we achive 100% recycle in anything.
