Nobody knew - but they were damn well going to spend billions of dollars on it anyway.

. . . to see how its viscosity -- the scientific word for stickiness -- decreases when shaken . . .

Gee, I wish scientific urinalists would at least learn a little science before they report.

Until now, I was under the mistaken impression that viscosity meant thickness and rate of flow, not stickiness. I guess that 10W-40 viscosity motor oil I change to for summer driving is because it is stickier than the 10W-30 I use the rest of the year rather than because it holds its flow rate better.

We knew that, because when you shake a non-pouring upside-down bottle of ketchup, it suddenly comes out in a hurry, all over you.

Wow, if a hard drive’s data can still be recovered after being burned in re-entry, I guess that casts some doubt into whether one can really destroy a hard drive simply by taking a hammer to it, or shooting it with a gun. Incredible what can be done to recover data!

Xenon is one of those atoms that doesn't like to associate or react with other atoms.

Great. Just what we need. Snooty atoms.
