Joke Of The Day: My Black Angus Bull

Rubber Chicken I recently spent $6,500 on a young registered Black Angus bull. I put him out with the herd but he just ate grass and wouldn’t even look at a cow.

I was beginning to think I had paid more for that bull than he was worth. Anyhow, I had the Vet come and have a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly just a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day.

The bull started to service the cows within two days, all my cows! He even broke through the fence and bred with all of my neighbor’s cows! He’s like a machine.

I don’t know what was in the pills the Vet gave him… but they kind of taste like peppermint.

How to make gunpowder and what you need.


How To Make Gunpowder

Gunpowder, also called black powder, is a simple mixture of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. The trickiest part of making black powder is sourcing these three supplies. Once you find them, you mix them together and create an explosive black meal. Be extremely cautious when handling black powder, and make sure to store it away from heat and flame.

Get your hands on some saltpeter. Saltpeter is the common name for potassium nitrate. In the days when black powder was widely used, saltpeter was manufactured from bat guano or made from horse urine and other “manurial soils.”[1] It’s used in many fertilizers, as part of science projects, and in certain recipes. You have several options for sourcing saltpeter:

  • Look for “stump remover” in garden stores. Saltpeter is often sold under this name. You may also find it labeled as saltpeter, niter, or potassium nitrate.
  • Buy it online. If you do a search for saltpeter, you’ll get plenty of results, and you can easily have a bottle delivered to you.
  • Make it yourself out of a cold pack. Cold packs you can buy for a few dollars to help with sore muscles contain sodium nitrate and water, and can be used to make saltpeter.
  • Make it with urine. This is definitely the most difficult way to source saltpeter, but some black powder enthusiasts prefer to make their powder entirely from scratch. To do so, one process is to fill a drum with manure affixed with a drain, valve, and filter at the bottom. Urinate into it, then top it off with water. After about 10 months, dry it out on trays.

Instead of tinkering around the house during his retirement like most, Momir Bojic decided to make his dream car—the astonishing wooden car design was a labor of love that took the 71-year old Bosnian two years to put together. However, unlike most DIY cars, the VW isn’t made from scrap metal and uses over 50,000 pieces of wooden oak that are assembled like miniature rounded shingles that gives the car an interesting texture. From a distance, the car has a brownish coloring and you’d probably not even know that this car has a wooden exterior.

As illustrated in pictures, the vehicle is fully drivable and the retiree, his car, as well as his matching wooden hat get plenty of attention on the roads.
