Proper way to remove ticks, not from the hillbilly manual...

CDC - Tick Removal - Lyme Disease

The proper way (tweezers and a slight pull) can still leave the mouth parts in the skin if you pull too much to try get the tic to let go. The drop of oil method works great and rather quickly. A matter of a few seconds and he lets go and scurries around to find air. Plus you don't run the risk of leaving mouth parts behind. Just saying.

What's going on with that rail car? I've hear of that before, but I can't recall what causes it. The pressure has to be tremendous.

[cashflyer]

negative pressure inside.
probably a chemical car being vacuum unloaded, and the worker forgot to open the vent.

Or steam on the inside, sealed and then cooled with a spray of water. Seems like I saw that on mythbusters. Works with soda cans too.

^^^This.

PV=nRT

Steam cleaned the tank, and sealed it (should be vented). Cool outside air. Temp inside tank drops, Pressure drops.

Yeah.... but I like my theory because there is a big-ass hose connected to the tank.
And because Railroad tank car vacuum implosion - YouTube

Always check for remaining parts.
My comment was referring more to the scraping and burning methods than the drop of oil. (Our vet does not recommend the oil method either though)
Who the hell tries to scrape a tick off??
If you pull about thirty ticks of off a dog in one go, you get pretty good at the traditional method....
