This is a followup to Bridget’s recent post. It seems that the entire problem was in the wall of the second floor bathroom. A cracked waste pipe was to blame. You can obviously see the hole and crack in the picture below. I wish I had known that when I remodeled that bathroom the first time.

Also, I realize that using the term “hole,” “crack,” “pipe,” and “bathroom” will draw porn hits. What a glorious day it is to have my waste pipe taken care of by a master plumber.

Take THAT, Google.

Apparently some would be pirates attempting to take control of a cruise ship off the coast of Africa were thwarted by a sonic weapon known as an LRAD, or Long Range Acoustic Device. The weapon focuses a narrow beam of sound that hits 150 decibels. Seems like enough to make someone run away. Cheers to the inventors of such a non-lethal device.

In The Davinci Code, Silas claims that pain is good. I have to disagree. About a week ago I was at lunch with Bill, Laura, and Bridget. At some point I bit entirely through my inner lip. Over the past week or so I have developed a sore where that happened. It’s currently about the size of a dime. Of course it’s located right where my teeth rub up against it.

After dealing with the pain of food crossing acrossed it over a few days, I decided it was time to do something. I went to Eckerd and purchased some Orajel Mouth Sore Medicine.

When I arrived home, I dabbed a drop of it on my finger and applied it to the area. I immediately fell to the ground and realized that I had apparently purchased a tube of lava. I had applied flaming molten lava to my mouth. This is the only explanation for the pain that ensued. My mouth and my eyes watered in an apparent cooperation of bodily excretion. The pain was unbelievable and pinpointed in an extremely small area. It was at that point that I decided that Orajel was apparently devised, manufactured, and marketed by The Devil.

After all that, it seems to have killed most of the nerve endings in the area. Thankfully it doesn’t hurt nearly as much when I apply it now. But seriously, I think a soldering iron would have done the same thing. Cauterization would’ve been preferable to the amount of pain. The odd part is that I’ve used Orajel before and never had it hurt so bad. It seems the amount of pain is directly proportional to the size of the wound. Take note fair readers. Take note.
