I got that this morning too and sent it on to a friend. She attempted
to open it with a pair of tennis shoes and a pair of flip flops. I
reminded her the guy had a fine French shoe. Later my friend- a
super computer geek said: "Been reading - evidently the idea is good,
but my selection of shoes was wrong. (You can also do it by butting
the bottom of the bottle on a tree.) Good knowledge to have in
case of emergency!"
Pretty cool.
