Hello! Is it anyone who knows the real name of this peninsula close to Rijeka Crnojevica, Montenegro?
Thanks!

Why will it pick up your finger, but not a pencil or other stylus? Accdude92 ( talk) ( sign) 16:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

does the usage of oils,creams or other lubricants over penis shaft cause any damage in long/short run or any other health risk? which is the safest lubricant to use?
Plastic bottles are a no-go these days, amirite? So, to be a little more environmentally conscious (as well as help out some girls in my class, as this was their project), I bought a stainless steel bottle. Ah, the taste of ( vitamin) water from this bottle after a hard run was majestic. However, I made the poor choice of not washing this bottle out after every single use. What was going through my head? No idea. At some point, a strange black film appeared on the inside, up to the level where I normally filled it up. This film was a little coarse to the touch, and didn't seem ready to come off any time soon. Repeated washings later, and it's still there. I could just ignore it, but this film gives everything inside a bit of a funky taste. Does anyone know the exact nature of this film, and/or how to get rid of it? Thanks!-- The Ninth Bright Shiner 22:18, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the oodles of advice and idle chatter, everyone. But it turns out you were all ultimately useless. ;-) But that sounds mean, doesn't it? I'm sorry.
After the night-long soaking with denture tablets, the mold was all but gone. There was still some visible residue, but I hardly detected a difference it taste. And yet, it still felt iffy. So a wondrous analogy came upon me: if you use a household cleaner on just about anything, what do you do? Usually, you have to wipe it away afterward; few cleaners can dissolve a stain to death. I got a paper towel and folded it up, then wiped the inside surface as far as my finger could reach. Lo and behold, a gnasty black stain on the paper towel. Stabbing some long, pointy utensils through folded-up paper towels got almost everything else off. If ever I'm naggy enough to want it completely clean, I'll remember all of your advice.
