I have a glass Snoopy bank it is crammed full of fifty cent pieces. How do I get them out w/out breaking it?
The common trick for removing coins from a bank with no provision for emptying it is to slide a very slim object into the coin slot, and tilt the bank so that one coin at a time lays flat on the object, and is allowed to slide out of the slot. With most banks, a butter knife works great for this. If the bank is stuffed so full that the coins cannot shift around, then this may be difficult or near-impossible.
Thanks...it worked! I used the metal strip from a wooden ruler, which I pulled out and bent the end back, and a butter knife. Bethm210 21 days ago .
What I used to do is take a butter knife and slip in through the slot, the coins would sit on it and I could carefully slide them out, its a slow process, but it works.
Give it to me. I have a secret key that will open the bank without breaking it.
BREAKING A MIRROR 1st Century A.D. Rome Breaking a mirror, one of the most widespread bad luck superstitions still in existence, originated long before glass mirrors existed. The belief arose out of a combination of religious and economic factors. The first mirrors, used by the ancient Egyptians, the Hebrews, and the Greeks, were made of polished metals such as brass, bronze, silver, and gold, and were unbreakable.
By the 6th Century B.C., the Greeks had begun a mirror practice of divination called catoptromancy, which employed shallow glass or earthenware bowls filled with water. Much like a gypsy's crystal ball, a glass water bowl—a miratorium to the Romans— was supposed to reveal the future of any person who cast his or her image on the reflective surface. The prognostications were read by a "mirror seer."
If one of these mirrors slipped and broke, the seer's interpretation was that either the person holding the bowl had no future (because he or she would soon die) or the future held events so dreadful the gods were kindly sparing the person a glimpse of their fate. The Romans adopted this bad luck superstition in the 1st Century A.D. and added their own twist—our modern meaning. They maintained that a person's health changed in cycles of seven years.
Since mirrors reflect a person's appearance (that is, health), a broken mirror augured seven years of ill health and misfortune. The superstition acquired a practical, economic application in 15th Century Italy. The first breakable sheet glass mirrors with silver-coated backing were manufactured in Venice at that time.
Being very costly, they were handled with great care. Servants who cleaned the mirrors in the homes of the wealthy were frequently and emphatically warned that breaking one of these treasures invited seven years of a fate worse than death. Such effective use of the superstition served to intensify the bad luck belief for generations of Europeans.
By the time inexpensive mirrors were being manufactured in England and France in the mid-1600s, the broken mirror superstition was widespread and firmly rooted in tradition.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
