" A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will
bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the
glass to the top."


i had that trick going last light with
a peanut in a glass of beer. peanuts
don't usually do that because they're too
symetrical to roll around and lose enough
bubbles to sink again. this one peanut
was perfectly non-symetrical. i let it
cycle about six or seven times and showed
it around to my friends before
i chomped the critter
to death.

i'm not making this up.

I started thinking what I'd do if I found a small piece of shuttle debris in my back yard.

If it was like a heat tile or something that identified it clearly as something from the shuttle.
I think I'd have a hard time giving it up.

I'd probably lock it away for a long time and only show it close friends or relatives.

After pondering that thought for a while I figured I'd look and see if anyone who fond it would be silly enough to try to sell it.

Looks like there were three people who are.
