Catland,

Stout proof of falling bubbles
------------------------------------

Scientists have shown that the bubbles in a pint of Guinness really do move down instead of up.

To mark St Patrick's Day, a team of Scottish and US researchers has produced video evidence to show the bubbles being dragged to the bottom of the glass.

An earlier study concluded that the phenomenon may only have been an optical illusion.

Close examination reveals that as the pint settles, bubbles touching the walls of the glass experience drag that prevents them floating up.

Bubbles in the centre of the glass, however, are free to rise. A circular flow is created, causing bubbles at the the edge to be pushed downwards on the inside surface of the glass.

Eventually more and more bubbles find their way to the head of the beer until the cycle loses momentum.

The effect occurs in any liquid, say the scientists, but the contrast between the dark stout and its creamy bubbles makes it easier to spot in Guinness.

The relatively small nitrogen bubbles in Guinness are also more easily pushed around and less able to dissolve than the carbon dioxide bubbles in soft drinks.

The Scottish scientists worked in collaboration with colleagues led by Professor Dick Zare at the University of Stanford in California.

They are the first to successfully capture the tiny, elusive bubbles on film, using a high-speed digital camera with a zoom lens in a chemistry laboratory.

As well as settling pub debates, the video could help improve scientists' understanding of fluid dynamics in a wide range of areas, including industry, medicine and oceanography.

Dick Vitale or Dickie V is a former coach, current announcer on the college basketball games...


He is known for his exclamations during a game....

As in,

"It's serendipity, BBBBAAAAAAAAHHHEEEEEEEBEEEEEEE!"

After the first 3 games he's funny, He's monotonous after that -until the Finals..............You want to pierce your eardrums with a pencil........He gets funny, again, around November....

I think at this point I'm not EVEN going to ask Richard, the point behind his tag line this week. It could be a scarry answer.

Don't be skeerd! ask away!
Better yet....

the first is about the Spain bombings.....most of the planet is inhabited by resonable people, the AH's get the press....

the "kitty cat" line is just one that I heard and it made me laugh

Toby Keith
Pull My Chain

Got me on a short leash, tied to your screen door
I used to run with the big dogs 'til I stretched out on your front porch
Used to be a hound dog, chased a lot of fast cars
Now I don't even bark when the kitty cat strolls through the back yard

They say that an old dog, can't learn a new trick
Well she taught me to stay the first day and I learned real quick
There's a doghouse, a fence and a gate latch
I keep my tail waggin' and I don't mind beggin for a good scratch

I used to howl at the moon, yeah I've been known to roam
Then I met this girl one day that brought this old stray home
I ain't the same, she knows how to pull my chain

--------------------




Notice.....
Laurie doesn't ask me geographic questions....

[slick]

OMG what's happening here???? I go away for a few hours and come back to more kids....

Let's see now, we've got people fighting over baseball cards, we've got others that are confooozled, we've got Debbie playing with her two umbrellas and Laurie who doesn't know if she's real or not (or maybe invisible??).

Ok, everyone just calm down. Debbie, put down those umbrellas otherwise you really will poke your eye out.

Laurie, here's Mario for you.....


(don't know why the link isn't working.....)

MM: stop blowing bubbles in your drink. They'll end up you nose if you're not careful.

Robin: I can relate. I go back to work Monday after two weeks off.

Now who's going to help me prop up Richard??? Who made his last drink???
