Is it cranking at all (do you hear the engine turning when you turn the key to the start position)?
If so does it cought, splutter or otherwise give any sigh it is trying to actually run?
If not do you hear a clicking noise from under the hood, or just silence? Do the dash lights come on, and do they stay on when you try to crank the car?

Check the ignition coil. At cold coils generally operate properly, when the coil heats a failing unit will start to break down and fail causing misfiring and poor engine operation. Second check for a failing ignition controller in the distributor.

The van runs well for about 6miles about 15mins. Once warmed up it splutters and stalls. I will wait for about 3 mins before the engine will re-start. The engine will run for a few more miles and will splutter and stall again.

This happens because water and oil don't mix, causing the water droplets to sink to the bottom of the pan and then rapidly boil and turn into steam. The sudden expansion of the water into steam creates a forceful expulsion of hot oil, which results in spluttering. This can be dangerous, so it's important to exercise caution when cooking with hot oil.

You could try this & it might work: Keep the ignition key in the "On" position, Press the clutch lever & get into 1st gear. Then run with your bike while keeping the cluth pressed. When you hear the engine splutter, let go of the clutch & hop onto yr bike & keep accelerating. Be careful not to lose balance when you are running with the bike, make sure you don't run into people or slip on sand. With some practice, you'll manage it.

It actually is used, but only to cool the burning structures. If you add water to a large oil or gas fire, it would carry the burning fuel around, since the fuel is lighter and will float on the water.

When water is added to hot oil, it sinks to the bottom and rapidly turns into steam due to the high temperature. The steam expands suddenly, causing the oil to splatter in all directions as it tries to escape. This can result in hot oil spraying out of the pan, posing a burn risk.

Quite often this is an indication of a worn in-tank fuel pump. Fortunately these are easier to access on the wagon than on the sedan. If this happens primarily when the fuel tank is less than 1/3rd full, and when turning a corner, these are the indication symptoms.
The fuel system is fairly complex, and you can work on it yourself, but someone who knows their way around the car will likely do a good job.
If you let this problem go too long, the main fuel pump can get starved, and burn up. It is not intended that the main pump run dry. Good luck.

The 2 most likely causes that come to mind are 1: Faulty idle control valve or 2: Faulty camshaft position sensor.
Does the car start up from cold ok? Or do you have to keep your foot on the gas to keep it dying on you? If that's the case, it's probably the idle control valve.
Is the engine light on? And does the engine sometimes hesitate and splutter even when you are giving it some gas? If so, get the fault code read. It's probably a faulty sensor. In my case, a crankshaft position sensor. Hope this helps!

Yes, thyroid problem is one of the other cause for snoring. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is released by the pituitary gland. One important function of thyroid is helping the body convert food into energy and heat.
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the throat. It produces essential hormones known as triiodothyronine and thyroxine. These are like petrol and oil: not enough and things start to rust, the engine starts to splutter and die.
Hashimoto's causes our antibodies to attack the thyroid gland. Healthy tissue is slowly replaced by scar tissue, until the thyroid is unable to produce the required T3 and T4. Sufferers tend to faint quite a lot.

usually what happens is the butterfly gums up with dirt/ soot looking stuff. grab a can of carbi cleaner and an airline and blow out the throttle body. i usually use a rag or bit of paper towel to cover is so stuff doesn't fly everywhere cos carbi clean strips paint. whilst doing this i usually work the butterfly to get right in there. note: when starting the car it will cough and splutter for a few seconds cos of all the carbi clean you use. at the same time clean any linkages that are part of the choke system. cos they can sometimes stick depending on the setup. if it's a manual choke . ie a choke cable setup, check to make sure the cable hasn't seized of lack of lubrication.

The little hairs that catch dust and dirt get covered in tar so your more likely to cough and splutter. You wheeze more because you can't take as much oxygen.

Is it high mileage, or is there a chance that dirty fuel has been used? You could try changing the fuel filter if this is the case, then try a shot of Injector Cleaner in the fuel. Use one of the expensive Injector Cleaners, the type that you can't buy from the petrol station. You may find a local MOT garage, a proper repair garage, that is, may have one of those £20-a-bottle jobs, which do work.
On the off-chance that there's been some water in the fuel- At the base of the diesel fuel filter there will be a bleed tap. Any water in the fuel will sink to the bottom of the filter bowl. Put a plastic tube onto the bleed tap and into a jar. Open the tap for a few seconds until clean diesel comes out.

You might have a faulty oxygen sensor. Typically, when cold, the engine management system operates in "open loop" mode ignoring feedback from oxygen sensors because they don't work properly until they heat up to a specific temperature range. Once the sensors heat up, the computer goes into "closed loop" mode using the signal from the oxygen sensors to help adjust the air/fuel mixture. If one or more sensors are faulty, the fuel mixture may be incorrect and cause a poor running condition.
Another possibility is that you have a running problem which is noticeable when the engine is turning slowly. Air metering, EGR system, and mechanical engine problems are your most likely suspects here. When the engine is cold, the computer raises the idle speed of the engine to warm it up faster and to prevent stalling which masks the problem until warmup occurs.

It might because antifreeze is at least 50% water, and it's well known water is not compressible. If you have sufficient amount of water in tank, it will end up in the combustion chambers and during one of cycle you can bust your pistons, or rods or everything together.
That's not so. Petrol (or gasoline) and diesel fuel are not compressible either, as they too are liquids. All that would happen is that the antifreeze would descend to the bottom of the tank and be drawn up by the fuel pump. It would not pass through a carburettor except perhaps as a few droplets because it would not evaporate. An injected engine would pass the same quantity of fluid into the cylinder as normal, but because a water / antifreeze mix will not ignite the engine would simply refuse to start - or if it did, would soon splutter to a halt.

Are you referring to something like a Pulav? It is rice cooked in spices and vegetables. Ingredients you need are:
- 2 Red onions (diced)
- 2 carrots (chopped in cubes)
- Few strings of French beans (Stringed and simply chopped)
- A cup of fresh green peas (Frozen if you like)
- Few sprigs of mint and coriander leaves
- A cup of long grain Indian rice or Basmati rice as it is popularly called
- 1 tsp of ginger garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp of whole cumin seeds
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 2 pods of green cardamom
- 3-4whole black pepper corns
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- A pinch of sugar
- Salt to taste
- 2 spoons of ghee (Clarified butter)
- 2 ladles of water (to cook the rice)
Method:
Soak the rice in 2 cups of water for about an hour before you cook it.
Heat the ghee in a fairly large cooking pot. Add the cumin seeds one the ghee is hot and let them splutter. Add the whole spices (Cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper corn and the bay leaf). Once you get a fine aroma of the spices, add the ginger garlic paste and saute till slightly brown, put in the diced onions and saute until they turn translucent. Then add the carrots and french beans and stir well. As you feel that the vegetables have changed color slightly, add the peas. Stir again, drain the rice and add it to the pot. Mix well for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spice powders with a pinch of sugar and salt to taste. Then pour 2 ladles of warm water, mix and cover the pot and let the rice cook on a low flame. Keep checking on it so that the rice doesn't stick to the pot or get burnt. Turn off the heat once you see that water has dried and the rice has cooked well. Try and press a grain of cooked rice with your fingers, you will know that the rice is cooked if the grain breaks into 2 pieces. If it turns into mash, that means the rice is over cooked. Sprinkle roughly chopped mint and coriander.
Serve hot with some Indian raita or any salad with a yogurt dressing.

Dogs suffer from various illnesses in a lifetime. Some are bacterial or viral in origin, while some are metabolic. Every disease in dog exhibits certain symptoms. Here is some useful information about the symptoms of a sick dog, which can help you identify the disease.
If you have a cuddly dog, you need to be very careful and alert about its health. It may suffer from various diseases and health problems. The dog can't explain the symptoms of its illness. Therefore, it's your responsibility to identify the symptoms of a sick dog and get it treated by a veterinarian and maintain its health.
Common Dog Diseases
A dog may suffer from different ailments, which may be due to certain bacterial or viral infections, metabolic disorders, immune abnormalities, trauma, cancer, genetic factors or degenerative conditions. Some of the common dog diseases are ear infection, skin allergies and infections, chronic kidney failure, cancer/tumor, dental disease, arthritis, urinary infection, stomach inflammation, epilepsy, diabetes, obesity, pancreatitis, food allergy, worm infestation, to name a few.
Symptoms of a Sick Dog
Knowing the disease of your dog is possible only if you are aware of the symptoms of a sick dog. Some of the common indications of a sick dog are lethargy, weakness, lack of appetite, weight loss, disorientation, diarrhea, vomiting, unproductive retching, bloody urine, straining to urinate, bleeding, difficulty in walking, pale mucous membrane, persistent cough and difficulty in breathing. These warning signs are helpful in accurate diagnosis of the disease.
Many dogs when ill do not want to move. They have pain in moving; they may limp and refuse to exercise. All these signs indicate the injured leg or paw. These are the signs of injury or illness. Strong ear smell, discharge and shaking of the head are indicative of mites or yeast infection. Persistent coughing is a sign of kennel cough, heartworm, pneumonia or heart disease. If the dog passes blood in urine, then it may be suffering from urinary tract infection, kidney disease or internal injury. Constipation or defecating problems are indicative of intestinal blockage or a change of diet.
100-103°F is a normal temperature for the adult dogs, while 94-97 ° F is normal for the puppies. High temperature can be a sign of bacterial or viral infection. Bleeding gums or bad breath along with teeth loss or discolored teeth are the symptoms of periodontal disease. Increased thirst and urination frequency in dog are the symptoms of kidney disease, diabetes or liver disease. If your dog is suffering from the urinating problems, then it may possibly suffer from the kidney disease or kidney stones. Blood or worms in feces are the signs of bowel infection or parasite infestation. If your dog is ingesting grass or other vegetation or it is suffering from vomiting, then it may have the worm infestation or poisoning or gastrointestinal problems.
Itching or scratching can be the symptoms of skin allergies and skin infections. Diarrhea in dog indicates stress, Parvovirus, change in diet or Corona virus. The lumps are indicative of cyst, ulceration or tumor. Lameness in dog is due to injury or canine hip and elbow dysplasia. Pale gums and pale tongue are signs of shock. Watery eyes indicate allergies and in-grown eyelash. Sudden or dramatic weight loss indicates cancer, worm infestation or Cushing's disease.
The symptoms of a sick dog help you understand the exact health problem of your dog, so that it can be treated earliest. If these symptoms persist for 24 hours or more, then you need to consult a veterinarian immediately in order to get appropriate treatment.

Onomatopoeia is the formation or use of words such as buzz or murmur that imitate the natural sounds associated with actions they refer to. Other examples are 'boom', 'rattle', 'crackle', 'squawk', and 'snap'. Both verbs and nouns may both fall into this category. For instance:
The duck squawked at the dog.
The duck gave a squawk of alarm when the dog approached.

Onomatopoeia is the use of the consonant and vowel sounds of a pronounced or "heard" word to imitate, and thereby emphasize or bring to a listener's or reader's imagination, the sounds that might actually be heard in what is being described.
In that way, it is a literary device used to make writing or speech more vibrant and effective. It depends on a listener's or reader's ability to hear the sounds of the words.
Many words are onomatopoeic in and of themselves, such as "snap" and "scratch." However, the sounds used in speech don't need to be so obvious in order to still constitute onomatopoeia.
Some considerations about onomatopoeia have to do with what our natural sounds of speech remind us of. Phoneticians have classified consonant and vowel sounds, and some basic facts seem to be true.
The explosive consonant sounds (such as the sound of b, d, k, p and t) seem to bring to mind more violent actions or percussive situations. Consider the following sentence: "The horse trotted and clopped along on the cobblestones." In that, you can hear the horse's hooves on the hard road, if you use your imagination.
The sibilant consonant sounds (such as s, sh and f) have a gentler sound, and are often used in descriptions of water or flowing motions: "The shore was washed with every wave, revealing shells and sand with every pass." In that sentence, you can imagine the sound of ocean waves.
The z sound is often used for buzzing sounds, but you don't have to use the word "buzz" to get across the idea: "The bees, a blurry swarming fuzz of wings, are hungry for pollen, and they warn me off with the threat of stings." There are several n, ng and z sounds in that sentence, which help a reader or listener to imagine the buzz of a bee.
L sounds are often associated with running water. In that sense, even the word liquid is onomatopoeic.
Some research has also been done on how vowel sounds affect emotion or imagination. Vowel sounds range from low-pitched sounds, such as ahhh, to high-pitched, such as eee and ayyy. The lower pitched sounds generally contribute to a perception of somberness, slowness or sadness; while the higher pitched sounds generally convey a feeling of excitement or urgency:
"He tried to steer clear, but the screech of tires and metal pierced his hearing."
"The long and awful funeral march wound through the dark autumn toward the graveyard."
Those example sentences combine several qualities of tone, cadence and sound. But they illustrate how vowel sounds also can contribute to onomatopoeic effect.
To recognize onomatopoeia, you must hear the words, either read aloud or in your imagination. To useonomatopoeia, you must think of words that contain sounds that you think the reader or listener should hear, that would be appropriate for the action or situation being described.
This is a literary device which consists of a word which sounds like the sound it is representing. Some examples include 'whoosh' and 'boom'. Often times onomatopoeia is used to describe animal noises such as 'oink' or 'ribbit'. Both are imagery type words that appeal to the sense of sound. The words essentially imitate or suggest the source of the sound that describes it. These auditory words are meant to inspire readers to experience the context of the sentence more fully.
Onomatopoeia is when it sounds like the words you are describing e.g zip slash bang

There could be several causes for this problem. There are many things that can cause this but I can give you a list & you can at least check them off one buy one.
1. A faulty spark plug, only firing now & then
2. A small short in one or more of your spark plug leads
***3. A failing Fuel pump
4. The speedo sensor that sits on the gear box. This will affect the idle if faulty.
5. A faulty or weak battery
6. The throttle body sticking
7. A damaged exhaust manifold gasket caused by a loose manifold stud or something similar
8. Timing gear adjuster could be faulty. DAYCO sell the complete timing gear kit. They are the only company that do.
9. Dirty fuel or fuel filter. I run my Daewoo on E10 fuel only. It keeps the fuel system & injectors clean. I know this is not recommended but my engine prefers E10 to any other fuel. Most fuel cleaners have ethanol in them anyway. I see it as a fuel system cleaner each time I fill up. I have never had any problems with blocked or damaged injectors & I have had this Daewoo for over two years now. We always used E10 in the other 2 Daewoo Nubiras that we owned. Never had a problem.
10. O2 sensor playing up but not enough to light up the "check engine" light
If you are getting a check engine light, have your computer scanned. That's the quickest way to identify a fault because each time the check engine light comes on, depending on the problem, the computer will log a specific code for that problem. I have had all of these problems & each one caused the problem that you are having so it could be one or several things but I remember when my fuel pump failed, 3 days before Christmas last year & it behaved as if it had dirty fuel now & then but not all of the time. It had moments of sluggishness now & then. The pump will suddenly fail, without warning. A good sign is if your Nubira is suddenly using a little more fuel than it normally would, especially when driving around the town. Every now & then, the engine would splutter but it did start using more fuel than normal. Open road driving was pretty good although it was still using a little more than usual, but it was just the town driving where it really guzzled the fuel. After my mechanic changed the fuel pump, it was great. Then I noticed that it wasn't using enough fuel. It was literally running on the smell of an oily rag. I knew it was dangerous to allow the engine to run so lean so I went back to my trusty mechanic & he did a pressure test via the water reservoir. When it came back fine, he did another test. This was a piece of very clever equipment that looked like a turkey baster. Inside it was some green liquid. This liquid picks up exhaust fumes in the water. He sat it onto the water reservoir & pumped at the rubber hand piece. Sure enough, the green liquid turned yellow, showing that I had exhaust fumes flowing into the water. In other words, my head gasket had failed but in the form of allowing the exhaust to leak into the water & not the water leaking into the oil. I have been told that it is similar to a "water injection" engine but I do not know how true that is. So, I bought a complete VRS kit & had it fitted. My water reservoir had also perished at the lower hose connection so I changed that as well. The new bottles have a copper sleeve that sits in the hose connections & in turn, gives more strength to the connection. When my mechanic did the head gasket kit & water reservoir, I also bought a full set of water hoses & head bolts. If you are going to something that so big, you are better off to change all the extra parts to prevent any further problems. I would go to the fuel pump first. I know my Daewoo wasn't happy before it failed but we couldn't identify the problem until it did. I have had alot of work done to my Daewoo but I would never sell it. If I bought another car, I would probably go theough it all again. At least I know that my Nubira is running at it best possible peak & I always change the oil & filter at 5,000 kms. Each time I use an emgine flush too. This keeps the engine as clean as possible. The oil usually stays pretty clean throughout the 5,000 kms & it is still reasonably clean when my mechanic changes it. I can do it myself but a past bad experience with an insurance company has taught me to have my oil changes documented by my mechanic.
If you live in NSW, I have found a brilliant parts supplier who usually have whatever you need for your Daewoo. They can't get some of the parts because they are usually a genuine part only like hand brake cables etc. although apparently they can be made up for the car. They just aren't an "off the shelf" after market part. The staff at Bursons Auto Parts can usually get the parts you need. I have found the staff at Bursons to be the best. They can tell me on inquiry if the part I'm looking for is a genuine part or if I can get it after market. they really do look after you & your Daewoo. Well, Good Luck! I hope that this has helped you to find the problem. As I said, I would go to the fuel pump first.

knocked over.)
- Cover the doorway in newspaper so that when the door is open all you can see is newspaper.
- Stack the empty cans on the other side of the door.
- When the person wakes up they will push through the paper and cause a massive crash of cans.
- This will work out when you sleep with new friends.
- Make sure the one you want to disturb is sleepy and not slept.
- Dip your fore finger and the thumb with a bit of water.
- Move towards the person, you want to disturb, make the sound of a kiss and gently touch his/her lips softly with the wet fingers.
- Enjoy...
- Put baby oil on their toes - it will make them while sleeping move their toes all night, so the next day they will be very tired and cranky.
- Wait till they fall asleep, then tear a small piece of paper. Roll it and then tickle with it in nose and ears and watch them slapping themselves thinking that is a mosquito.
- Wait till they're asleep then put their middle finger (either hand, try their writing hand, it works the best) in a cup of warm water, then watch the magic. Sometimes this prank doesn't always work but my friend did however wet himself (make sure they're not sleeping on your bed).
- Silly string! lots of silly string! Spray it all over the person while there sleeping then use fake spiders and put them in the silly string (be prepared for a big clean up day though).
- If you have a bag of potato chips and green nail polish then this is a wonderful prank to pull (this works better on boys and brothers):
- Invite some friends over for a sleep over.
- Wait till its real late.
- Boys get hungry so they will want something to eat.
- Bring them a bag of potato chips and say in a warning voice, "if you guys eat these, your nails will turn green in the morning after you wake up."
- They won't believe you and they'll dig in, make sure you don't eat any, instead have an apple or orange.
- Make sure it looks like you feel asleep first, then wait till the others have fallen asleep, go into the bathroom and wait 5-10 minutes then flush the toilet.
- Make sure while you made your trip you got the green nail polish.
- Go to your bed very quietly and pretend to go to sleep just in case someone woke up.
- After awhile get up and get a flash light, make sure either you, your mom, or your sister is good at painting nails.
- Get them to paint your buddies nails and then go to sleep.
- You might get an early wake up call from your friends as they shockingly take in there newly green nails.
- Laugh at them and say, "I told you so." They'll be owned and you'll have a good laugh.
P.S.
make sure that you later tell them is was only a prank and it can come off with nail polish remover(if
your doing this prank on your brother just make sure you did steps 4 and 5 wait till he's asleep and make your move, it works just as good).
- Classic pranks are always the funniest (and the most forgivable). Put shaving cream on their hand, and tickle their nose with a fake feather.
- You can put their hand in hot water. You can spill water on their sleeping bags or beds so it looks like he/she drooled. Put makeup on them in the middle of the night. If it is the owner who slept earliest, you can pile his/her clothes like a wall so he/she cant move unless he/she knocks down ALL their clothing.
- Just the classic paint all over their faces.
- Best when it is boys: When you go to sleep over at a friends house wait until there is nobody in the boys room, go in and hide a very girly
babyish animal/doll in an easily accessible area in the bed room. Wait until the victims are asleep (usually takes a long time with boys...) go in and get the toy. Walk over to your choice of one of the boys (usually the one you like the least) and carefully snuggle the toy next to him. When the guys wake up, get ready for a ROAR of laughter!!! Also, it might be a good comeback for some one who did something to you.
- How to add to the fun: Pour a little warm water on the sleeping bag. Find a pacifier and add to the 'baby scene' (this might take some time) find a girly
diary, write in it with your brothers hand writing, messages like "This really adorable girl looked at me"maybe
one you don't like. or "My webkinz
has a really cute outfit" Be creative! Its very easy to write embarrassing messages! Once the diary is filled up, put it in an area where the male guests might find it easily.
- Have some balloons already blown up, and tied off so the air doesn't leak out, then hide them. After everyone is asleep, get the balloons and a pin, and start popping them real fast, one after the other. You will have people waking up, screaming and jumping all over the place. But be warned you may have some angry parents if it gets too noisy.
- When they're asleep, pinch their nose. If their mouths are shut then they will splutter as they wake up. The reaction is SOfun to watch. And also, remember to pull your hand away when they're about to wake up or they'll know who did it.
- With your friends (if you have siblings): t.p.
your sibling's room! Make sure you have lots of toilet paper, put it all over the room & around them. But, be ready for a cranky sis/bro in the morning and you're probably gonna have to pick it up.
- Prank on your friend(s
): if you want to get back at a friend, wrap them up in toilet paper.
- Can be for both sibling(s)
or friend(s):
while they are asleep take some markers (make sure they are washable, but never use hi-liters,
they don't work well) and draw all over their face, it will look funny, but make sure to help them take it off in the morning.
- For a group of friends of 5 or more, use a washable marker to write the name of the most hated person of the opposite gender on the people who fell asleep. Tickle their feet so they dream about spiders. Whisper this into their ear- "You are on a tropical island, drinking (put their fav
drink in) with (crush/enemy, depends on your mood) and you (put something embarrassing here)"
- Take a bag of ice and dump it on the persons feet then be prepared to run.
- The classic whipped cream prank! Get some whipped cream (a spray can of whip cream is best) put it in their hand, tickle their nose or anywhere on their face, and they will hit their face with their hand and it will smear ALL OVER IT!!!
- I just wanted to add this take some old toothbrushes and cut all of the bristles off of them and sprinkle them in their sleeping bag. They will be itching all night!
- Take clear plastic wrap and put it under your toilet seat. Make sure it doesn't have any wrinkles. This works best on boys though. Everything will come back at them.
- For this to work you need to have of something with a strong but pleasant smell and when the person is asleep put the sweet smelling thing under their nose for 1 or 2 minutes then ask them a yes or no question. They will answer sometimes vocally but usually by nodding. The best part is they won't remember it if they wake up. It really works.
- Perhaps the oldest and certainly most harmless prank is the "short sheet." Make the bottom sheet as usual, but then place the top sheet over it, tucked in at the head. Bring the bottom edge of the top sheet up to where the top edge of it would normally be, and cover with the blanket. it will look like a normally made bed, but when the guest tries to get into it, they can't.
- Put on some bright red lipstick, then while the intended victim is sound asleep, kiss them all over their face, leaving bright red lipstick prints all over their face, and what I did one time was while someone was sleeping one of my friends (we are all guys)jumped
on me and then I jumped on him it was fun.
- These might be fun, but be warned that some people aren't so forgiving. You could be repranked
or lose the friendship/love of a sibling or get a very painful well deserved punch to the face.
- If someone wears shoes to bed (weird I know) tie the laces together. They MAY notice if they wake up and sit for a while, but if they get right up they fall right down.
- If you're camping, and its not winter, drag the target's sleeping bag (with them asleep in it) outside. When they wake up, they might not notice! This also works if they are about to wake up, its harder though. This also works if everyone is in a cabin.
- You will need:
- One person asleep, one person awake as well as yourself, a pen, a big cardboard box big enough to fit yourself in
- Wait until that person has gone to sleep. Then get a pen (preferably one that shows up well, but comes off)
- Then draw on their face how ever you want, but be careful they don't wake up
- Afterward, get a big cardboard box and put it in the middle of the room and get in it, close the lid so no one can see you
- Then get the person who is still awake to tickle the victim or something to wake them up
- The victim will wake up and see a big box in the room
- When you think the time is right, jump out of the box and scare them
- This prank really works. I made it up and I thought I would try it. The victim didn't realize the pen was on their face until 10:00 am the next day because they were so scared by the box prank! She has never forgiven me but it was worth it!

While someone is sleeping, CAREFULLY put their fingers or hands into lukewarm water. In the morning or whenever, you and that person will find out that they have wet the bed! Great for sleepovers! It is because everyone will think that person is a bed wetter!
Another is to fill their hand with whipped cream and scratch their nose! They will smack their face with the cream instantly! Experiement and enjoy.
Another would be to paint a guy's toes glow in the dark!
Lastly, try writing "loser" backwards on their head, so that when they look in the mirror, they can read it!
