Dumb Ways To Die Song and Video

This is actually a public service advertisement to warn people about the dangers of being around trains. From the web site: "Most people are able to recognize for themselves that trains are big, fast and not to be messed with. But sadly, a few people just don't get it. And that's why we're running this campaign. To stop them from that brain fade, from doing something dumb and being hit by a train."  Apparently it's a pretty big problem in

How to Clean a Copper Chafing Dish

We put it to the test. A bottle of Heinz

Ketchup versus these badly oxidized,

copper chafing dishes.  

Several years ago my wife bought six vintage, copper plated chafing dishes. She picked them up for a song but the copper really needed cleaning.
