I once used a IUD for a carburetor return spring

(I like this one)

• Peeing in your vehicle’s DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) tank can keep you going.

False. If you’re driving a late-model diesel-powered truck, you’re probably familiar with the need to keep the DEF tank filled. These cleaner burning engines have an emission control system that will prevent the engine from starting if this tank is empty. The active ingredient in DEF is urea and this is injected into the exhaust stream to aid in reducing emissions. Most DEF fluid contains around 32% urea, whereas human urine has only 2 to 3%. The sensors in the vehicle would quickly determine you were trying to pull a fast one if you relieved yourself in the DEF tank nozzle.

Yes, you can fix a car, temporarily, with pantyhose. Been there, done that, in the era of v-belts. It worked long enough to get the guy home (5 miles and about 15 minutes in traffic - all we needed). I know, I was riding with him, and suggested the fix when his belt shredded.

We then drove to Autozone in my car and got the correct belt, which I showed him how to install and properly tighten.

Holding a remote key fob against your head can extend its range.

True. This one actually works and has some solid science behind it. When the transmitter’s waves pass through your head, the liquid inside your skull will change the signal’s wavelength and can noticeably extend the operating range.

Stupidest thing I ever heard.

Water is one hell of an impediment to transmitting waves.

Worse than a brick wall actually.

Does repairing a car in pantyhose count? It was a dark and stormy night after a few beers...
