This is intended to be a place for humor. Nothing serious.

What lessons have books taught you? Or rather what book did you learn what lesson from?

From Monster Hunter Legion I learned that you should never fly without a live chicken. (Thank you Skippy! I now have a cure for my flying phobia! "Evil Spirits!")

I learned that, if there's a chance of nerve gas and/or werewolf attack, atropine works on both from The Blood Gospel (Rollins/Cantrell).

That'll change my Buffy Readiness kit some.

Jim (jimmaclachlan) I just found out that a pacemaker left in a body when it gets cremated can actually blow up enough to ruin the oven. I'd heard they had to be removed, but didn't realize they were that explosive. Also, some of the newer ones will put out enough of a shock to hospitalize the person removing them unless a magic wand is waved over them first.
