But for some reason I enjoy that sort of thing. Back as a boy, I went to the Griffith Observatory in L.A. on a school outing, where there was a bunch of displays with ball bearings bouncing onto the tops of metal posts cut off at various angles. ... ending with the balls bouncing into a hole in the wall of the display. Strange how things are remembered after 7 decades or more. When we moved into our house, I thought about doing that sort of thing based on a tennis ball floating up a tube of water to the top of a "cliff" above our house, and then rolling down a track in and about the tree tops and hillside of our 2 acres of woods, etc. But then... never did it.

Anyone remember the mechanized guard dog things in Neal Stephenson's Snowcrash? That book had a shockingly accurate prediction of the existence and structure of YouTube as well.

Sea lions have invaded boat docks and ramps along the Pacific coast.
Orca's (killer whales) eat sea lions. So why not a fake orca to scare away the sea lions ? But then maybe the sea lions in Astoria, OR have the last laugh. |

Molten lead + CocaCola = weirdness.

When the liquid cools through plasic to solid, it freezes like your Mother said your face would.
I don't believe that's lead. The thermometer showed less than 600F and lead melts at something like 625F. Plus I've had the unfortunate experience of witnessing pot of molten lead blow from a small dose water off a tree branch on a rainy day. It's more likely an alloy like Bismuth-Tin-Antimony-etc.
