Is there a way to make facial hair thicker?

 

[nonconformist]

Let it grow and trim.

 

[GoodGame]

But I believe you can train it to grow back faster by trimming it more often, but what noncon said.

Nah, trimming doesn't make it come back faster or thicker.....but what it does is it's essentially the same as having a longer beard (thus thicker) with the excess cut off. When I want a thick but short beard, I let it grow at least a month before trimming.

How to prevent fridge magnets from sliding down a fridge?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Lessen the weight on them, or get stronger magnets.

Try recharging the magnets (do a google search, I don't know the specifics).

Get rid of them.

If you are really attached to them, buy new magnet sheets, cut them out into the shape of your beloved magnets, and glue them on the back.

 

[Zelig]

Anything below 1000 pounds of pull force is a wimpy magnet.

I have a strong magnet out of some sort of magnetic building kit (?) my mom got at a yard sale. Should that recharge it?

 

[Frank Drebin]

why not try it?

Is it possible for a cocktail to have so much alcohol that it causes the ice (frozen water) to become neutrally buoyant or even to sink? If so, what is the proof needed to sink ice cubes?

 

[Frank Drebin]

yes, it is.

How should a devout Muslim astronaut pray towards Mecca in a space module orbiting at hypersonic velocities?

EDIT: Nvm, overestimated how much relative movement there is with respect to Mecca.

In 0 gravity, an astronaut can still face Mecca... but I guess if he sat on a slowly rotating platform or something... anyways, I think Allah understands.

What drug's will help me lose weight fast? From suppressing a desire to eat? Or ANYTHING!

Ipecac.

Take 3-4 tablespoons daily.

 

[Arakhor]

Losing weight fast is dangerous and simply not eating is a very bad idea, just so you know.

As long as you take ipecac with every meal, you can basically eat as much as you want.
