    Too good to be true. But a great story. He was probably one of the seven nerds. I hope that PS3 doesn't have **** on it!:eek:

    I heard like 5 or 6 people discussing that very "plan" a couple days before release. When we camped out, the guys all looked out for each other and held people's spot if they had to go to the restroom etc.
    I call BS. But whatever. Good for him for making $500.

    All exlax does is help you go...ALOT :D . I dont think it is poisoning somone. I played that trick on many of my friends back in the day. I've had it done on me. Sure it sucks for the recipient of the trick but it wont hurt you.

    The active ingredient in ExLax is phenylthaline.

    Phenylthanline is a liquid used in testing boiler water for sulfites.

    About 4 drops of phenylthaline in somebody's coffee/soda/beverage and they'll **** like a racehorse within 30 minutes.

    Somebody have a nasty habit of stealing lunches out of the staff refrig ?
    Spike something delicious looking with phenylthaline and just wait ..... wait ..
    .... wait ... wait ....

    "Hey, where's Ralph at ? Oh, he came down with a bad case of stomach flu and had to go home ? Gee ..... what a shame ".

    ....you don't mess with a working man's lunch.

    That would be "phenolphthalein".

    This has been a public service announcement from the American Chemical Society, http://www.chemistry.org/portal/a/c/s/1/home.html...

    Chemist?

    This stuff is in most commercial labs. You should never use more than a drop of this stuff. More than that will cramp up your target really bad. Making a grown person **** their pants isn't very nice:(

    Can you say Helmholtz frequency:D !!!!

    The active ingredient in ExLax is senna extracts. Not phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein is a optically active pH indicator. IIRC, its also what is in urinal cakes.

    Hmmmmmmmmm.........

    urinal cakes
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Sorbitol is not a stimulant laxative, like Ex Lax is.

    Phenylthaline is a solution made using phenolphthalein and other
    commodities.

    And making a grown person **** their pants is what is known in the power plant world as ...... "Justice".
    Etiquette, of course, dictates that one gives plenty of notice to an unknown brown-bag thief to quit stealing food. Than, after an appropriate period of unresolved problem, it is acceptable to commence chemical warfare.

    You just don't fool with a man's cupcakes and not expect to get the hammer, colonicaly speaking. :rolleyes:
