A man is set to face magistrates after an incident in which a passing
policeman was hit in the face by a stream of water from a high-powered
novelty water gun.

He might have been a fool but was that sufficient reason to use CS
gas on him?

Any particular reason why water pistols have to be filled with water?

Nope. I have a water pistol filled with undiluted bleach. The next twat
that comes to my door trying to persuade me to change my gas/electricity
supplier is going to get it right in the eyes... ;-)

A kid here in MA years ago filled up a Super Soaker with acid or some kind of
chemical and went around spraying folks. I think they were banned for a while,
but the stores seemed to keep carrying them.

Of course, we also can't legally buy sparklers, or own pepper spray without a
CCW permit.

Litter box. Fill the pan with 1-2 inches of water would be my guess.
This should leech out most of the urine from the rocks/clay(use
non-clumping type).

I know there's a good amount that comes off the bottom when I
change the litter - dries on the bottom and side. So there must
be a large amount in the litter itself.

How does one get a cat to pee into a water pistol? or would Thames water do?

In the UK, you need a section 5 firearms licence in order to fill your water
pistol up with any noxious substance. To get the section 5 licence you need
to prove to the home office that you need the water pistol full of cat piss.
Doing it without the licence would net you a 10 year minimum prison
sentence.
It seems a little harsh in the case of cat piss in a water pistol doesn't
it, especially if you haven't squirted anyone with it.

Well thanks. After what I thought was a good idea, I've just spent 3
hours trying to squeeze by cat's bladder in to my water pistol. The
cat's not happy and I'm covered in stinking piss.

Yesterday I saw a little brat 'sorry' boy being dragged across the road by
his mum. in the boys hand was a small toy ak47, I thought I could be a
bastard and phone the police and tell them I saw someone carrying this gun
and just wait for a vanload of armed police to turn up and surround the
two.but of course I ignored it. A few months back I remember reading about a
similar incident where the parent and child was put in a police cell all
because of a toy gun. Now if only the police were as quick to catch someone
breaking in to a neighbours house, it took them over 2 hours to get here,
maybe they were busy interrogating some 5 year old terrorist!

If he's done it in the US, he'd have got more than CS gas - probably a

Put a funnel from the bottom of your trainers into the water pistol.

It's a well known fact that tomcats like pissing in mens shoes.

I've never seen a tom cat in men's shoes (although I've

No, aristocrat to go first (so at least he gets the comfort of
the last rites): then do the priest.

They're probably trying to kill the stink.

Because it's cheaper than filling them with vintage champagne? :)

That's what my daughter said when her boyfriends tom kept pissing in
his trainers instead of using the litter. He solved the problem by
taking it on a one way trip to see the vet.

The police or the kids?

Do you know the origins of the saying, btw?

It sounds like the policeman was just mad at the guy with the water gun. It
is just another good reason to ride around with the windows of the patrol
car up and the air conditioner on. After all, the government is paying for
the gas.

In any case, if an ordinary British Citizen can not practice self defense,
then why let the police have deadly weapons to shoot people with? Was the
policeman afraid for his life from the deadly super water gun? I respect the
police but I don't grant that their lives are worth anymore than mine. In
America I have the right to defend my farm and home and even my life from an
armed criminal. As a subject of the Queen you have lost your right to
protect your own life. But I would not think of shooting someone with tear
gas because he shot a water gun at me.

I'm guessing - does it have perhaps a French, 18thC connection?

phenylethene. Probably one of the most potent laxatives available.
Used to be the active ingredient in Ex-Lax before the
hyper-safety-nazies had a go at it. Apparently if you drown a lab rat
in the stuff, the rat dies.

Phenylethene has many uses. In the lab it is used as a basic
indicator. If an acidic unknown has a little phenylethene added and
the solution titrated toward basic pH, the instant the solution goes
from neutral pH (7) to the basic side (>7 pH), the solution turns
bright pink.

If my faded memory is correct, each Ex-Lax contained about 50mg of the
stuff. Potent.

It usually comes as a dry white powder which is quite soluble in
water. Available on sleazebay.

A simple spray bottle is enough. Set the nozzle to coarse spray and
hit 'em with a blast to the face. A 1 molar solution will get them
from the amount absorbed through the eyes and licked off the upper
lip. I added some sugar to my mixture to hide the otherwise somewhat
bitter taste.
