One thing: Why is it I come up with all these ideas in the shower. What about the shower make it easier to focus? How can I replicate the shower without having to take a shower?

How can one remove magic marker from unsealed light coloured slate? My sister's family moved into a house with a fireplace. My 7 yr old nephew, no doubt both in an effort to be helpful and display his literacy, wrote "ca(u)tion" on what appears to be an unsealed slate hearth, light grey colour, in permanent magic marker.

I always use sharpies to label burned cds, and it's never been a problem, even after years. How about all of youse? How about DVDRs?
