Post #264,432 by drewk 8/10/06 2:11:46 PM Reply	I think it was plausible I came in after they had already done that one, but I got the impression it did something. The good one was the methane soap bubbles. Pumped methane at low pressure through a lawn sprinkler into the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket full of liquid soap. Since methane is lighter than air, the column of bubbles kept growing up to about 15 feet high. Then they hit it with a match.

Just what the world needs. jb4 "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06
