    So a 155lb drum of 41deg. nitric acid is in a auction Tuesday and chances are I'll get it as nobody's bid yet and it's a $1.00 bid to start. I'm going to do some passavating and "antiquing" of replacement parts. But what other things can I use it for ? I figured the knowledge pool here would be able to help. Thanks all.

    My grandfather had some kind of narcolepsy or narcolepsy-type disorder where he would just fall asleep . He was a carpenter so sometimes it could be on a roof - most often in his truck (not driving) . Everyone just left him alone, he'd wake back up in 15/20 minutes and go right back to work or eating supper, whatever. I don't remember how fast it happened, just that people found it comical.
