No, I don't have a leaking radiator in the motor vehicle.
It's just that late last night, leaking radiators were a topic of conversation between two business partners and myself (we're working on how to sell the William Rivers Pitt); they were downing some hard-core alcohol while I was genteely sipping on coffee.
Anyway.
I had recently read a story in the newspapers about how some people, having a leaking radiator on their own motor vehicle, plug it up by dropping an egg into it.
I was curious if this actually works.
The other two, whose automotive mechanic experience is vastly more enormous than mine, had never heard of it. One of them has a two-year degree in automotive mechanics; the other has a bachelor's degree from Fordham University, although I'm not sure what in.
Both however have heard of using pepper to clog a hole in automotive radiators.
It must be a regional or cultural thing; people in some parts of the country using an egg, and people in other parts of the country using pepper.
These guys swore on the Head of St. John the Baptist that pepper works.
Okay now, realistically, if I had a leaking radiator, I wouldn't put anything in it not made to be put in it, even if I had to sit out in the blazing searing charring sun of the Nebraska Sandhills for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours, waiting for someone to come along and summon a professional to deal with it.
But seriously, does this stuff (or other stuff) really work?
