Have you ever wanted to do something that you knew was not good, even dangerous, to you? Something that you've been told will seriously harm you? Last night, I'm hanging out at the Manifesto Headquarters balcony, enjoying the cool breeze on my sick face. (yes, despite the Vitamin C and Echinacea, I'm sick... unfortunately.) So there I am, wishing my sinuses weren't filled with Quikrete, and I stare down at my truck parked below. My truck was diagnosed yesterday with a faulty starter, a worn valve, a radiator leak, and a broken clutch sleeve. A grand total of $803. I tell them, that the only necessity is the starter, which will only set me back $150, affordable. They tell me that they won't warranty the starter if I don't get the Valve fixed also, because the starter is broken because the valve is leaking oil into it. In 6 months, they say, the starter will be worn again... but by that time, it will be my dad's responsibility. I'm tired of this vehicle. Okay, so back to the dangerous-for-me part -- I'm looking down at this broken truck with it radiator leak. I can actually see the Antifreeze dripping onto the pavement, and my first thought is, "What does Antifreeze taste like?" Now, I've always heard it's very sweet, but very poisonous, which is why when you spill it on the ground you have to pour a lot of water on it, so that it won't be so sweet and so doggies won't drink it and die. But even with all of this knowledge, I still want to know what it tastes like. When you tell someone that something is very sweetly yummy, but also very badly deadly, there seems to be a conflict of interest. Now my curiousity is piqued. Why did you tell me this was super sweet yummy? Why not just relate the deadly poisonous part and leave it at that. You can say that the reason dogs drink it, is because they're stupid, not because it tastes good. So I guess my question is, how much Antifreeze can I taste without getting sick? A tiny taste? Just lick the lid? Perhaps I should consult the back of the bottle first and prepare the first aid before I try... whether that means I have a glass of milk waiting for me, or my finger, or 911 on speed dial. Of course there's always the smart path, and don't do this very stupid thing... but isn't life just a string of experiences? Why should I deny myself this experience? I will think on it more... (although ultimately I probably won't do it.)
