In the past few days I learned a couple of incredible things:
1. Ketchup from a glass bottle
I've always hated glass bottles of ketchup because I often find myself unable to get the ketchup out of the bottle because I can't squeeze it.
I was in Byron (a burger place) and trying to get ketchup onto my burger. I was hitting the bottom of the bottle repeatedly; I hit harder and harder and then was about to hit it against the table to smash it open when a guy sitting on the table next to me explained how to get the ketchup out. Instead of hitting the bottom, hit the side. The below diagram explains this really well:
When I did as instructed it came out straight away with ease. So now I can finally eat without this terrible problem which has plagued me for many years!
2. How to murder a fly with ease
There seems to be a fly infestation in my house. This has given me time to learn how to murder flies who seem to be very good at dodging my swipes.
Usually I just flail around, or grab something I can hit them with. This isn't very effective because flies can move very quickly and seem to have a 6th sense for avoiding death.
Today I was able to crush a fly that was standing still. Usually the fly would see me coming and dodge it but this time I crushed it with a transparent glass
- it couldn't see the glass coming so couldn't get out the way. Just have to be careful not to smash the glass, my kill/death ratio is pretty high though

Hope this is of use to people, enjoy and post your own discoveries if you want
