I WANT one of these!!!!!!!
Note----we scientists are professionals, we do this for a living. If you
try this stuff at home, I AIN'T LIABLE. And you may need a 
Joseph's Innocent Inanimate Objects Page
- This is NEW, people. Picts and quicktime movies of
what happens when everyday groceries of various types get blown apart
with various weapons. (Pretty cool stuff. :)
Geek Site of the Day!
- I'm a physicist---so we gotta have a link to this!
- Fun With Grapes
- Grab some grapes, get a microwave, and have a fireworks display!
- Grape Racing!
- More grapes-and-microwaves---similar, but still fun.
- Microwave Experiments!
- All SORTS of things you can do with a microwave!
Strawberry Pop-Tart Blowtorches
- A couple of Pop-Tarts, a toaster, and have some real
fun!
- Trojan Room Coffee Pot
- Want to know if there is any coffee in the pot? (Well, this will
only be helpful if you are in Cambridge, UK, and near the Trojan
Room, but hey---it's still cool.)
Fun with Twinkies
- Amazing scientific experiments with that most inscrutable of objects,
the Twinkie!
How to
Melt a Barbeque Grill
- This is great----soon everyone will be rushing to the corner
store to get some LOX so they can try this----I know I will.
- Restroom Utilization Project
- Anyone using the restrooms at Vanderbilt U? Want to find out?
(Sorry, no direct video---you perverts!)
- Time-Travel Page
- Interesting list of possible time-travel projects, thoughts, ideas.
- "Characteristics of Organic Illumination Systems"
- (More bluntly: What happens when you plug a pickle into wall
current.) These people obviously have WAY too much time on their hands,
judging from the long, involved treatment of this particular experiment.
(I mean, really: Graphs? Annotations? Footnotes? Oy!)
- Light-Emitting Vegetable Diode
- If you read the pickle one (or tried to, at least), you've got to
read this one. It's hilarious. (Though it helps to know what an
oscilloscopes and diodes are.)
- Launching Stuff with Liquid Nitrogen
- I've done something like this----it's amazing what a tiny
test-tubeful of liquid nitrogen will do. I've wanted to use a whole cup,
but they wouldn't let me...
- AGD Antics and Mayhem Web Page
- No, not the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority House. Are you kidding? This
is scientific stuff, not how to paint your nails and be blonde. (Oooh,
they are going to kill me for that one.) This is actually the Advanced
Graphics Divison of SGI. Cool stuff. (This page also has a LOT of REALLY
COOL links to other insane physics stuff.)
Backyard Ballistics Page
- Great stuff here---how to build a spud gun, a picture of the Great
Gatling Spud Gun, etc. Plus, LOTS of cool links to other nifty insane
pages. Just do it. :-)
MIT Hack
Gallery - Now THIS is the way to pull pranks. The way it should be.
- MIT Guide to Lockpicking
- This is for real---and rather well done, actually. If you ever
wanted to know how to pick locks, you should read this.
NASA Photo Gallery
- Want to see the latest pictures from Explorer? Perhaps some shots of
the Earth from one of the shuttles? (And if you want to ask questions or
find out info, go to the NASA homepage.)
- Astronomy Picture of the Day!
- I'm not much for astronomy, but this stuff is cool. Check it out.
(Note: this page is switched every day, so there are a number of times
when you won't be able to access it----bear with it. It IS the
correct address, it'll be there!)
- More forthcoming---stay tuned!
- (soon)
to Thomas' Page (Use this one if you aren't in a
"frame" setup and would like to be. [Highly suggested for navigating
my site.])
