Body Rules
MAKE BURNS DISAPPEAR
When you accidentally singe your finger on the stove, clean the skin and apply light pressure with the finger pads of your unmarred hand. Ice will relieve your pain more quickly, Dr. DeStefano says, but since the natual method brings the burned skin back to a normal temperature, the skin is less likely to blister.

Astronomy
MEASURING SOMETHING IN THE SKY
You can describe the location of objects that are low in the sky by holding your hand in front of you at arm's length. With your palm facing in and your pinkie on the horizon, the width of your hand covers 15 degrees of arc above the horizon.

PLAYING POOL
In a game of eight ball, let your opponent sink half his balls before you sink your first. That way, your balls will interfere with his shooting, but his balls won't be there to interfere with your shooting.
