Experiments in Fizzy Carbonated Beverages and Minty Chewiness

I know we've all seen the reaction you get when you combine Mentos and Diet Coke.  I don't know what inspired me to share these videos now, other than to say it really impresses me that people dedicate this much time and energy to this.  Whatever the reason they do it, I have to admit that the result is pretty flippin cool!

And sticky.

Carl Sagan Day

In honor of Carl Sagan Day.  On this day, November 9th, in the year 1934, one of the greatest minds of our time came into this world.  He left it all too soon, but his words live on to inspire us, and humble us.  

Thank you, Carl Sagan.

Watch Out For the Dragon Baby!

I know a lot of people have already seen this, but I keep thinking about how cool it is.  I first saw this last Friday night, and I was impressed by the skill involved in making it.  Enjoy!

Yay Flexagons!

So, for those of you who didn't know, October is flexagon month.  In honor of this obscure celebration, here is a great video that shows how wonderful flexagons can be.  I also recommend you follow this video up with part 2 and the safety guide.  Links are provided at the end of each video, so you should have no trouble finding them.

Redbull Stratos Jump

I know I'm behind on sharing this.  I've already seen it, but I figured I'd make the time to post it here.  I would have done so already, but it's been a crazy week.

Jumping from the edge of space = AWESOME!

Klingon Style Video

Here's a wonderfully ridiculous video.  My favorite part is the elevator scene.  My husband and I watched that scene over and over again, and we couldn't stop laughing!
