scientists make water run uphill

they claim they did it as an experimental new cooling procedure, but I'm pretty sure this was just a drunk bet.

A lot of good science has come from drunk scientists making and taking bets. I have an entire book of scientific advances like that.

Ooh, post some fun stories, then!

Wow, that's the second really weird random science related thing I've seen today.

You might be laughing now, but when they develop the uphill water death cannon, who's going to be laughing then?

Actually, I'll still be laughing then too.

Wanna see liquid travel up instead of down? Easy.

Make a bowl of cereal. Dig your spoon in nice and deep. Pull it out again. Notice that most of the milk that falls from the spoon lands safely in the bowl. But little drips will actually rise to attach themselves to the bottom of the spoon.

Trust me. It probably has something to do with static and gravity.

God isn't going to like this. It was actually going to be the 11th commandment. "Thou shalt not make water run uphill".

I imagined a river or a stream going uphill, boy was I disappointed.

My mind is so weird.

Actually, the eleventh commandment is inscribed on a large rock half way down Greenmount Hill on the Great Eastern Highway, Perth. The faithful flock to it every year.

It says, and I quote "Thou shalt not speed."

I'd heard there were 15 commandments until someone fumbled and dropped five.

Explains a lot really. Think about it - don't you save your best material for last?

seeing as I'll be the one running the death cannon, there shall be much laughter, maniacal laughter, but still.

actually, the first time Moses walked down to the bottom of the mountian he shattered the commandments because he saw his followers worshiping a golden calf. God was kinda pissed when he came back up and asked for another copy. but I don't remember my Catholic school lessons enough to tell you if there were 15 originally

(yes, I know that was a reference to History of the World part one)

Actually there was around 15 commandments in the bible... but you see some of them were edited out by the church in the 1500's I believe? I read it somewhere...

15? Heh. Try 613.

Uphill water

. Though the suggestion he makes about using it to cool computers in great, more power for the gaming!

eventually we will replace the word "overclocking" with "hydrating"
