List : Unconventional Uses For Different Things

The human being is creative and this was proved troughout our entire history.Astonishing discoveries and important inventions were made.But,what you are going to read is far more different from the average inventions.Here are just a few unconventional uses for different things.There are many moreI,m sure about that.


1.Urine for Gas Mask : Soldiers,in World War One,used make-shift gas masks if they were caught in the open without a gas mask during a gas attack - cloth soaked in their own urine and placed over the mouth was said to give protection against a chlorine attack.Better drink some urine if you don't want to die!

2.Cell Phone for Bullet Proof Vest : A Louisiana man was saved when his cell phone took a bullet to the chest for him. R.J. Richard was sitting on the back of his lawnmower when a 0.45 caliber bullet hit his cell phone that was clipped to his overalls.Lucky!

3.Gold for Facial : Empresses of China used gold rollers on their face. Cleopatra slept in a gold mask. Therefore, gold must be great for the skin. That's what one company thinks at least, as gold leaf facials are all the rage now at a spa in Charleston, South Carolina. To start, one's face is completely covered with gold leaf foil. Then the foil-covered skin is massaged. The entire process takes an hour and twenty minutes. The concept is that the skin, in an attempt to reject the gold as a foreign object, grows new skin cells at an accelerated rate, thereby firming up the face. The cost for this procedure? Over $350. Gilded age indeed.

4.Converse for Gang Sign : In some Texas cities, old Converse "Chuck Taylor" All Star sneakers are thrown over utility lines to indicate the presence of drug dealers in the area.

5.Cat Poop Coffee for Coffee : [ˈkopi ˈluwak]) or Civet Coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus).This is from wikipedia.What I understood from this,is that a cat eats coffee beans,poops them,and then some people sell it as expensive coffee to us to make coffee from them and then drink it.Hmmm,nice.

6.Lemon for Battery : A lemon battery is made with a lemon and two metallic electrodes of different metals such as a copper penny or a copper plating and a galvanized (zinc coated) nail. In practice, a single lemon cell is incapable of lighting a light bulb; one would need about 500 lemons wired in series to light a standard flashlight bulb.

7.Baseball Bats for Weapons : Since the invention of baseball the baseball bat was used as a weapon.And it's still used as a weapon.But let's not forget about golf crosses,levers,shovels,and many others.The human being is inventive,don't you forget.
