  1. Not pigs, but cigarettes on Cleansing Hardware Of Dead Pig Odors? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Twenty some odd years ago, one of my sons left the door to our freezer open. The freezer was located in the basement and the felony was not discovered until after a week had passed. Poultry, fish, pork and beef along with assorted vegetables were the main products in the decaying mass that was removed.

    I tried:
    Washing with soap
    Washing with TSP (20 years ago it was the real stuff
    Baking Soda in small containers on all shelves
    Charcoal ( Charcoal Briquets broken into small chunks and scattered on the shelves

    Then as I was bemoaning the fact that I would have to purchase a new freezer, a Salesperson in the local Montgomery Ward Store said "Newspaper", (She lost the sale but gained my everlasting adoration); it absorbs the odor. Wad it up, but not tightly, fill the freezer, and change it every few days.

    Within a week to 10 days, the odor was gone. The stupid freezer is still in operation, probably keeping my electric bill higher than it needs to be.
    But, it is odor free!

    Newsprint may have changed in the past 20 years, but it worked once (for me).

    Ozium is a commercial air freshner, odor killer. It has worked in cigarette/cigar smoke impregnated rooms with limited success for me recently (Real Estate Sales).

    Good Luck!

  2. Re:Computer keypads vs. telephone keypads on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The story I got is that those of us from the old 10 key mechanical adding machines could key numbers faster than the telephones could accept the input so they reversed the keyboard. This dates back to the early 60's

    Henry Ford's Model T used convection flow for cooling. Hot water rises, cool water falls, it makes its on circulation.
