#1 Since according to Vicktor Belenko, the hydraulic fluid in the MiG 29 is essentially refined vodka (de-icing issues), pretty much the sky's the limit.

#2 Vodka has many uses, but most of those involve drinking and the occasional fire. We love the drinking use but did you know there are other house hold uses for vodka.

1. Odor Remover

Mythbusters showed how mixing vodka and water in a spray bottle can work great to get rid of odors in the house like smoke and sweat. There may be a scent of vodka in your house but we are cool with that.

2. Glass Cleaner

Taking that same vodka and water solution in a spray bottle can also be applied to clean glass for a streak free finish.

3. Homemade Extracts

You can use vodka to help make extracts of different flavors. Here is a guide to show you how to make vanilla extract.

4. Anti-Bacterial

Alcohol kills bacteria. So if you need to quickly sanitize your hands just douse them in some vodka. Dont touch your eyes afterwards though, ouch.

5. Natural Astringent

Clean up your complexion by dabbing a cotton ball in some vodka and using it to clean your face and tighten your pores.

#3 I recently heard a story of a recovering alcoholic who confessed to his old college roommate that he would fill up his cars windshield washer tank with vodka. He had a box of straws in the car and whenever he needed a drink, the check engine light "in his head" would come on and he would pull over for a little "roadside assistence".
Claims he made it through a number of traffic stops with law enforcement using this drunkards "one weird trick".
As I say, he's recovering now, and will be for the rest of his life...fessing up to his past deeds was part of his treatment.
