How can I get ink off my hardwood floor? I tried hairspray, rubbing alcohol, and goof off remover and no luck?

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

I have also tried nail polish remover. There has got to be a way to remove this, it is just regular pen ink.

You can remove the ink with WD-40….a product available at your local hardware store.

WD-40 is a household product used to lubricate doors and joints that creak but it also removes ink.

Spray the area with a thick layer of WD-40. Allow to sit for about a half an hour. Then wipe away the ink with damp paper towels.

If you’re skeptical…it worked for this other woman who asked a similar question on Yahoo Answers: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoOV.IxuLy5q_rA0ZpR5vlLty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091203232213AABP50S&show=7#profile-info-vjPfT1J6aa

After all the treatments you have already done, it’s possible you have removed the finish from the floor. You might have to re-stain the area. If this is the case, you could always simply sand the area with Fine Grit Sandpaper to remove the ink…and then re-stain the area once the ink is gone.

How bad will the Lions get trashed this Thanksgiving?

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

It’s pathetic really, these goofs were stomped last year to eventually earn them the sparkling title of 0-16, now they’re on the loose again. How can they further embarass themselves, other than by showing up?

This is for you, 123.

not as bad a s last years 41-10 loss to Tenn……….they will keep it close in the 1st half and then turn out the lights………..

Is there a decent alternative to the proficient multi purpose stain remover called goof off?

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

I need to find a alternative because my roommate has intense multiple chemical allergies and she says that it even bothers her when i use even the smallest amounts of goof off outside then eventually come inside. Of course her chemical allergies are annoying for the both of us but it’s not her fault, she was born with them. Thus, like I said, i need to find a alternative that has a less chemically potent smell that goof off does. Any suggestions?

i have found just use a little wd40 works just as good.

What is goof horsepower for a car at the races?

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Ok so there is a drag strip not to far away and im going to go there but i need to know like what is good hp to race at a drag strip and what is the type of cars they race on average?

HP is not important.

2 important numbers are:

power to weight ratio – BHP/TONNE

and torque….LB/FT.

for instance, i have a bike engine powered go kart, its only 200kg, but it has nearly 120bhp….thats like 600bhp/ton.. WELL over any road car, most super cars done even have that power….hence the 8.7 second quarter miles !!!!

Torque….a bhp is nothing without torque….i could have a 500bhp car with 50 lb/ft of torque…itd be fast to 20mph…but slow after that……you want a good match…300bhp+ 300LBFT is good, with weight around 1300kg.

Space Goofs episode question?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Hi, i remember watching space goofs as a kid on tv and there was one part of a particular episode that has for some unknown reason stuck with me. However i have no idea which episode it is, and i can only describe this one small part of it, so if anyone knows which one it is i’d be very appreciative. All i remember is Etno and Bud get into some sort of duel where Bud is screaming and Etno is singing like an old guy lol (i forgot the reason why). Sorry i know that’s really vague. Thanks in advance

Get to know them better. This is not a task only to be accomplished through dating. The more you get to know him or her, the more you can tell if you like them as a friend or something else. Just talk and do fun activities with the person.
Stop and consider why you like the person. There are many physically attractive and smart people out there. But if you see something beyond that really catches your attention, you’ve marked this person as unique and probably like them. Why else would they stand out from so many?
Consider how many times you think about the person. If you find yourself thinking about this person several times a day, and they are happy thoughts that possibly make your heart beat faster, then you probably like them.
Think how often you laugh at their jokes etc. When you like someone, you will find yourself laughing at things even if they aren’t that funny. This is a natural attempt to make them feel appreciated.
If the one conversation between you and the person is stuck in you head and you cant stop telling people about it. this means it was important to you, and you probably like the person.
Consider how much you try to be near them. If you’ve planned your walking speed to catch a glimpse of them as many times of the day as possible, there is a good reason for that.
Think about how you feel if you touch him or her, by accident or on purpose. If you’re still thinking about brushing shoulders several hours ago in school, then that is a special thought and you probably like them.
If you feel you’re ready for a relationship, and are confident enough for a positive response, then just go ahead and ask them out. If you’re unsure of their feelings for you, there are several wikihows on how to tell if someone likes you.

Does the fact that lizards can regrow a severed leg but humans cannot indicate that evolution goofed?

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

It is obvious that humans were never meant to live in a hostile society where you can lose a limb and never get it back. Dear Evolution, Back to the drawing board. Get it right this time.

You got your facts wrong. Lizards cannot regrow a severed leg. Salamanders can do that.

Some lizards can lose a tail and grow it back. Tail autotomy is a defense mechanism. Losing a tail and growing it back costs energy, but the preservation of life is more important. Tails are expendable in a lizard. A tailless lizard can get along fine without a tail.

As to why all mammals, reptiles, frogs, toads and birds have lost the ability to regrow a limb, we don’t know. There are a total of about 500 species of salamanders extant, but there are thousands of species of reptiles, thousands of species of frogs and toads, thousands of species of birds and also thousands of species of mammals. It appears that losing the ability to regenerate has not proven to be a disadvantage in the struggle for survival.

Thank you all. I goofed. What I really meant was what’s the difference between calzone and stromboli?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009


The shape. Stromboli are rolled into a loaf. Calzones are folded into a "pocket".

The filling. Stromboli is usually based with mozzarella and sauce. Calzone is based on mozzarella and ricotta.

The method of cooking. Stromboli are usually baked, and calzones are sometimes deep-fried.

In America, typically when you order a stromboli, it will be filled with mozzarella, tomato sauce, pepperoni and salami or another Italian meat. A calzone is ham, mozzarella and ricotta.

What do I do I goofed the threads on the CV on my car?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Got the new CV shaft in and messed up th threads while doing it, used a file to try and "clean up" the threads a bit but still no luck. I didnt have the nut threaded on far enought and it goofed the nut too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn me! Any suggestions besides using a small file or buying a new cv for 90!!!!

Go to your local auto parts store explain the problem and request knowledge on the size of the threads, any good parts man should be able to pull a half shaft off the shelf and measure the threads. after you know what size it is buy a "thread chaser" or "tap" and run it up and down the messed up threads several times. you should also be able to buy an "axle retainer nut" from them.
