I recall how recently it was discovered that plain ordinary aspirin 
worked better at helping prevent certain heart issues than several 
high tech (read: expensive as hell) prescription meds and nobody 
seemed to recall how it was that the pharmaceutical industry didn't 
realize this.  Or, maybe they DID but didn't say anything...


I've mixed up impromptu concoctions of atf and acetone and brushed 
onto stubborn fasteners and the stuff works.  Maybe somebody 
somewhere will get around to concocting their own batches, then 
selling it in cans as if it's some sort of miracle drug for fasteners 
and charge 20 times what it's worth til somebody else figgers out 
what it actually is...?

  Or something.
