A cigarette also gives a pretty concentrated little dot of
heat, and you don't have to plug it in!

In news:[email protected] (Jim Thompson): [snip]Then there's the case where one of my dogs tried to get a bug from
between the needles of a barrel cactus. The kind of needle with a
curved end like a hook. My wife had to hold the dog still while I
slid his tongue around the hook and got him loose ;-)

I bet that was a lot of fun!![]()
The biggest problem was that the dog was trying to pull away, so my
wife had to push him toward the cactus and hold him there until I
extricated the tongue. He *never* went near a cactus again ;-)

It's a solvent perhaps- probably the "plasticizer" from something
it was in contact with. Ever use a rubber grommet in a plastic project
box? After a while, the plastic box dissolves and the grommet gets
stiff. Same concept. Also, for the newbies- never store those rubber
grommets in your clear polystyrene plastic parts drawers- they too will
melt into goo after a few months. Once that starts, there is no way back.
Cheers!
