have you heard of the pitch drop?

i was just listening to this radiolab about how we understand speed, and they mentioned one of the longest running science experiments called the pitch drop.

The first Professor of Physics at the University of Queensland, Professor Thomas Parnell, began an experiment in 1927 to illustrate that everyday materials can exhibit quite surprising properties. The experiment demonstrates the fluidity and high viscosity of pitch, a derivative of tar once used for waterproofing boats. At room temperature pitch feels solid - even brittle - and can easily be shattered with a blow from a hammer. It's quite amazing then, to see that pitch at room temperature is actually fluid!

In 1927 Professor Parnell heated a sample of pitch and poured it into a glass funnel with a sealed stem. Three years were allowed for the pitch to settle, and in 1930 the sealed stem was cut. From that date on the pitch has slowly dripped out of the funnel - so slowly that now, 80 years later, the ninth drop is only just forming.

SISSY BOUNCE

last year, i learned how to death drop. this year, i'm going to sissy bounce. "spread yo legs, arch yo back, go up and down and make it clap"

hot air balloon snuff film

there were 19 people in this hot air balloon when it popped. as is the norm in egypt, their souls have been sucked into the pyramids and they are now paying homage to the phaorohs for eternity. two people survived by jumping out. how is that even a thing.

did you hear about the mattress that flew off a building roof terrace and knocked a guy out

that happened downtown
. keep your eyes open thomas wilhelm.

this song comes back and haunts my brain basically every week and i don't even mind

shangela on dance moms

 flim said that shangela was on toddlers and tiaras last night, so i was immediately reminded of when shangela was on dance moms. widely known fact, shangela is the reason i want to learn to death drop.

SNL is late to the party

DJV and I had this idea this summer. Perhaps not as fully realized, but we have already moved on to death drops. via.
