And another:

If a small child is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug of boiling water down its throat and hey presto! The blockage is almost instantly removed.

You can do the same thing with Drano if they are choking on almost anything else.

Hot water (steaming towel is best) on the face causes the hairs to expand making them softer and easier to cut. Putting the razor in the freezer for a while hardens the blade and makes it temporarily sharper. Using lukewarm water in between strokes means the hair will stay thicker longer and the razor will stay sharper for longer. Rinse afterwards in very cold water to close facial pores and ease inflammation

In several of the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming, the author mentions Bond's habit of showering in water as hot as he could stand it and finishing off with a cold-water rinse "to close the pores"...
