Good call Gordon, never even thought to check Snopes for something like this!

The thing is, people who believe these things, try it and get poisoned with all that chemical, and maybe start fire during the process... not mention cutting hands, lips (for some reason)

Dang :/

Everyone tries to open a battery or two when they are kid.. I sure did try, what's inside. I want to know how things work. Now, "curiosity killed the cat" doesn't go good with human beings... I am still alive, and sharing my experiences... Good guess though ;)

The car battery hack was hilarious!! I wonder if anyone really tries that? Sounds like a Darwin Award in the making.

You mean to tell me there is no AA batteries in there?

Did I steal all that car batteries for nothing? Crap. Now what?
