OK thanks.

Question: Someone laughed at me for using the thread "letting dead horses lie." And then they called me an idiot. Why did they do that? I thought it was a common phrase.
 
Lets say your in your car on a hill stopped at a traffic light. You hold the car still by squeezing off the clutch and just letting the clutch hit the flywheel to make the car move a little.
Does that damage the car? Specific question just want to get as much use out of my batmobile as poss... :D

It's difficult to do. And the clutch plate is a wear item. Meaning that it is a part that will wear out, and have to be replaced.

What does the " People you might know " thing mean on Facebook ? It's not people with whom I have mutual friends . It threw up someone I did know , but usually it doesn't .

People you went to the same school as.

If you have made a note of your employer (and the other person did as well), that may be one of the clues Facebook is using to spam you with potential friends.
 
The cat barfed on some rechargeable batteries (don't ask). Is there a way to clean them or should I dispose of them?

Use a napkin of cloth. Unless they stink really bad, I think they should be fine.
