This one secret can save you a lifetime of plumbing bills

(I see headlines like this all over the internet. The people who write them seem to have a way to make people who read them send money. I haven’t figure that out yet, so you get this one absolutely free.)

If you have water that won’t drain out of your bathtub just pretend (I’m talking really, sincerely pretend) you’re trying to keep it in. Once it thinks you are trying to keep it in it will instantly drain out. The only time water will stay in your bathtub (or bucket, or boat, or anywhere) is if it thinks you are trying to get rid of it. If it thinks you are trying to get rid of it it will stay, more or less, forever.

Bonus: A watched pot will never boil.
