Frosty Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Funny you should ask . . . I've come to expect that kind of curiosity from you Slag. It's a good thing. Fact is there was a Mythbusters episode where they tried to make a candle (I think) from ear wax. IIRC it didn't melt like wax and had a smell similar to burning hair. It's been a while since I saw that episode though. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings to mind Patton's promise to lube the tank's tracks with the guts of the enemy. Does lubing your mini balls with the enemy's ear wax count? Frosty The Lucky.
