An energy drink / bar for swimmers that not only gives you energy, but also makes your skin secrete a glycerine-like lubricant so you can cut through the water faster.-- Rubi, Jan 19 2004 Perhaps you'd wanna see a doctor about that first ...-- Letsbuildafort, Jan 19 2004 // makes your skin secrete a glycerine-like lubricant //
Need some elaboration on this mechanism. eg. how?-- waugsqueke, Jan 19 2004 Sometimes when I eat spicy foods I begin to sweat really hard. I suppose that the food would cause this reaction, but I don't know how it would cause the lubricant to leave your skin so quickly. As you can see this is still in the formative stages.-- Rubi, Jan 19 2004 Must...Resist...Commenting...-- theircompetitor, Jan 19 2004 <the office> will there ever be a boy who can swim faster than a shark? </the office>-- jonthegeologist, Jan 20 2004 A glycerine-like lubricant - if you mean the oil that makes greasy hair greasy and bald pates shine, we already make that stuff, so this doesn't sound totally impossible.-- DrCurry, Jan 20 2004 random, halfbakery
