Nine-Inch Flashing Pinwheels

 

Have you ever used lemon juice as invisible ink? It isn’t hard. Squeeze juice from a lemon into a small bowl, add a few drops of water and stir. Dip a Q-tip into the juice and use it like a pen to write a message on clean, white paper. When the paper dries, the message should be invisible. All you have to do is hold it near a warm light bulb for the “ink” to reappear. In 1995, a man named McArthur Wheeler robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight, without a mask. He even smiled at security cameras as he did. He was arrested and charged later that same day. McArthur was dumbfounded when police showed him video evidence of his crimes. “But I wore the juice,” he said. McArthur believed rubbing lemon juice on his face would make him invisible, as long as he stayed away from heat sources. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
