I thought if you got your bowstring wet it became pretty much useless? Also, in the books, Tarzan’s most constant weapon was a hand-made rope that he’d lasso his prey with, pulling it up into the tree strangling it, and then stabbing it with his knife. But oh well…
Gotta be careful though – some herbals, such as milkweed, not only are “liver cleansing”, but they can affect how well your medications metabolize. Any supplement that affects your liver could also make your medications less effective while you are taking the supplement. People need to consult with their doctor before doing this.
Oh yeah! My dad traveled a lot when I was very little! He set himself up though – he would go all these cool places and send me a post card, and I got so that I really expected to get them every time! He’d bring home some really fun things too – like a leprechaun that had a “hidden” zipper pouch for your pajamas, or the “dolls of all nations” collection. He traveled less frequently as time went on, but I still remember him coming back from Japan and bringing me a kimono (which I promptly decided would be my new bathrobe!) ;-)
My little sister was cute as a button and yeah, she did the whole wandering off and what did you bring me thing. Actually, my little brother was the star of the family at getting lost! There was that time at Disney World….
Never did the wildlife in the suitcase thing, but when I was 11 I did decide to bring an ivy plant that I’d grown from a cutting on the plane with me. They were very nice and let me keep my little cup with water and greenery with me and I managed to get it to our new home without spilling it. It had gotten so big I didn’t have the heart to leave it behind and let it die, and it never occured to me to actually plant the darn thing in the ground! ;-)
I know exactly where this is going – stormy night, Lake Geneva 1816, 4 friends together – they will have their infamous writing contest and a young girl will be inspired to write a story that will fascinate and terrify generations! Fun times!
