Did anyone else know that Lava Lamps could be a health
hazard? Well, other than getting stoned and getting lost inside of one.

7. pfft, I've made soup with one before
Just pop a hole in the lid of a can of soup, replace lamp with can, wait an hour or so and you've got warm soup. Good for when your stove is broken and you don't have a microwave.
