Since it's the off season and YF contains so many who like to share info wether trivial or educational I thought I'd start a thread where myself and any other self-confessed blondes of any hair denomination can ask odd questions which others might know the answer to...
so first up
- if I have a bleached animal skull and want it to end up red (in a gothy way) is it best to use paint? dye? stain? - any ideas...
Permalink

But it would stain the skull - but will probably come out more brownish than red

Ahh yeah - any female/sensible person knows that things that have been coated in blood don't look very nice afterwards 
seriously tho... I'm just not sure about how porous thibgs like that are and wether a fence stain is better than paint

perhaps use some kind of primer first (maybe and etch primer but not sure what that would do to bone).
Maybe do a few tests on some other bone piece to see what works best.
might even pay to try a few shades brighter than you want if it is going to soak in

It's a tricky topic for a squeamish animal loving person to google lol as keep ending up on taxidermy sites and can feel my bunnies glaring at me in horror. I want it to turn out something like the red skull on this
but man i've discorvered there are some weird things out there

As bone is mainly calcium it would be best to use dye.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Put on a fur coat, wear the skull as a necklace, then wander into a PETA gathering.

IPv4 the old way of organising i.p adresses was replaced by IPv6 by the Internet Engineering Task Force or IETF
Basically, some geeks somewhere made i.p addresses a few digits longer (maybe even infinitely longer) so the internet won't break.
We will never fully decide who has won the football.

ok - but when I look mine up it doesnt look off the top of my head any diff to how long it looked before so I'm (blondely) guessing its longer in the background somehow

speaking of Apple... Do they scent their products/product packaging? there is a distinct "Apple" smell, which doesn't smell like apples btw

Your i.p should be the same, just for new users or pieces of tech which are internet able.

I dug out a couple of old PS2 games the other day: WRC4 and Killzone.
Both now no longer can be loaded - the console starts up but the screen remains blank. The discs don't appear to be scratched and all the other games work OK.
Any ideas?
(googling suggests the laser reader is dirty but how would that allow me to play lots of other games?)

firstly I love Killzone, i had the collectors edition but it got nicked.
the disc's themselves do have a life span so maybe if they are much loved they just can't take anymore. maybe give them a wipe too. or kick the ps2 lol

Killzone was/is an old fave of mine too. Will wait for the PS2 to die before I even contemplate a PS3 ($600 still out of reach for this sort of item at the moment).

...what you'd be doing if there was no such thing as football?
I think I'd be sniffing glue out of a paper bag or some such.

I'd be getting divorced. My wife would actually get to see me and spend time with me, and it wouldn't take her long to realise what she was married to.
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.
