Try me now, I'll try anything

Things I learned last night: do not, on any account, attempt to make fresh breadcrumbs in a motor-driven meat grinder.

No good will come of it.

Does your list of scary properties include the ability to effectively strain the red dye out of WWII military-issue petrol to turn it into colourless black market fuel?

If not, add another item to the list - even the historians on the Wartime Farm (or whatever it was called) TV programme (same folks as Victorian Farm etc) couldn't believe their eyes when they tried it...

Alledgedly, one could also strain WWII-era Brasso through bread to extract drinkable[*] alcohol as well. I have never tried this :)

[*] Though, presumably, not palatable.

Wow! I wonder if that works on modern red diesel too?

Someone on the internet thinks it does (http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080220113150AAuB4u9) (but considerably more people in that thread think it does not ;)
