Cool. I've always wanted to pull that prank as a kid on someone's house. I guess I was just 33 years before my time ... or, well 23 years if you count when I actually wanted to do it.

Oh yeah, and like some others said. It's a cooking pan. It's SUPPOSED to get a little worn-looking over time. It's like having a couch that never looks like it's ben sat on. What's the...

I've had some pretty bad cleanings I've had to do on my stovetop and some pots and pans. For what I've needed, Bar Keeper's Friend has always done the job for me. The real key is this...

Back when I had a pager (yeah, like a LONG time ago, and no, I wasn't a drug dealer), I jumped into a friend's pool totally forgetting I had it in a pocket. Oddly enough, the pager mus...

I love the first one. So many interesting ways to incorporate this and personalize it to your own home/family. I could see it only working really well though if you have that cordoned-off foyer lik...

Having lived in DC (Bethesda actually), especially during the winter of 2001/2002, I never understood why people freaked out over snowfall. Sure, that was a CRAZY winter, and Bethesda did basically...

That sofa is hideous. No two ways about it.

Also shouldn't use it on your bed (as shown). Prevents the laptop from cooling property, causing the fan (if it has one) to spin faster, which will burn it out faster (just happened to my wife), wh...

Am I the only one that when I generally hear the word "ornate," what I actually end up seeing is more deserving the definition "tacky?"

Raymour & Flanigan has a great tool for planning out rooms and whatnot (I promise I don't work for R&F). http://www.raymourflanig...

Whether or not global warming is "real" is completely irrelevant. The fact is that these resources that we need to burn are limited and, if not impacting the planet as a whole, are DEFINITELY impac...

I mean, who doesn't like the idea, but this post tells me absolutely nothing about the product. What kind of appliances can I run for a "week?" Obviously I'm not expecting...

For the 99% of the population that aren't audiophiles and are fine with off-the-shelf systems, the styling of this is just fine. Many of us living in cities with smaller apartments don...

Two greatest Christmas films of all time are: 1 - A Christmas Story (I mean, it's a classic, even if it is annoying that it's replayed for 24 hours straight) 2 - Die Hard

Easiest way to equal out the acidity of your tomatoes is to add brown sugar to your sauce. Two tablespoons will give you a "sweet" taste to your sauce if that's what you're looking for (great for ...

Imma let you finish, but the food that Kevin makes is what I cook on my day off!!! How long till a Kanye Michael D-Bag mashup?

(sighs) This is incredible. Just because I'm jealous and I want a kitchen like this, the only thing I would have changed is to have the kitchen more square instead of rectangle. I li...

I've been using garlic in the jar from Trader Joes and then Fresh Direct. Obviously this will never be as good as fresh garlic, but I've noticed as of late that I need a lot more of the garlic in ...

To second this thought, if you put small, circular fans above the plates, almost like fans you have in a computer, that could help in the whole drying process while using minimal electricity.

That's actually a really good idea, but like birdablaze said, the outlet is an accident waiting to happen.
