If you were listening to the Flakes earlier this week, hopefully you heard Mark's list of completely useless tips (if you're ever stranded in the wilderness without firewood, you can light your Doritos on fire).  Just when we thought Mark's advice couldn't possibly get any more ridiculous, he unleashed a few new pearls of wisdom this morning.

Tip #1:  When you're cutting cake, instead of using a knife, use dental floss.  You'll get a smoother, more precise cut.

Tip #2:  If your power ever goes out, turn on your cell phone light, lay your cell phone down and set a bottle of water on top of it.  It will make an instant lantern.

Tip #3:  If you need to put a new key on your key ring, use a staple remover to make room for the key.

It's precisely this type of public service that's helped make Mark such a well respected pillar of the community for the past 25 years.  For his part, Paul characterized these new tips as "ridiculous".
