There is also the carrying of aromatics out of the beverage through the carbonation, as per the recent articles on champagne bubbles. (e.g. [www.guardian.co.uk]). This only refers to bubbly, but I would be rather surprised if the same principle was not at work in other carbonated beverages. After all, beer and cola are full of aromatics as well. #gizmodoremainders
Wait so nobody felt the need to post about the baby nearly dying because it wasn't 'gadget-related' enough for Gizmodo, but you jumped in with a BREAKING article about a balloon flying away? And then posted 5 more articles about the most retarded hoax ever, even though it didn't have any "cellphone-related mayem?" #gizmodoremainders
@G-Ram: the balloon is actually a really cool gadget (er...was). Apparently once it was filled with helium there was a small electrical current applied to parts of the outer skin to help it navigate. I have no idea of the physics of it all (or even if it would work, since this guy is a bit weird as it is) but that's the story.
Whether or not giz knew that at the time is another thing. I think they just wanted to get a bit more site traffic :) #gizmodoremainders
Wait so this baby stroller video doesn't end with, "Just kidding, the baby was not actually in the stroller and was hiding in an attic" ? #gizmodoremainders
Who expected anything different? What I'm surprised by is how well the announcer knows what he's talking about... It's no small feat to understand how insufficiently damp suspension can be the cause for the attitude of the truck to change and make it land on its pass/rear corner.
@Neil Allan: I figured that out when it landed, but then bounced over onto its side, and the only things I really know about cars are that the big wheel steers it, and Ferraris help you get tail.
I don't think Rhys can back down now. Somebody will definitely pull this stunt off, and if it's not Rhys, he'll look pretty silly for having tried twice and failed.
As for not requiring finesse, I suppose that's true. But it does take some cajones to get back on that horse time after time in what is clearly a potentially deadly stunt. I give him a lot of credit for that. And it's a heck of a lot more interesting than seeing someone stand in an icecube for 58 hours...
@Rashad Rose: Yes, Kaiser is my PR man. He's pretty cheap for the good work he does. I just have to forgive him for his popcorn bag trick and anything on his HD's. Not many people know, but he's the one who came up with that whole "One Set of Footprints" glurge. Still having great success with that campaign.

You're a good man, Harry
@badhatharry can't wait to take his star to his 10-year reunion: "What happened to your star?"
It's either on the fritz or it was confiscated. I haven't asked, but I'm guessing the latter.

God wants this to continue. He's recording it on his TiVo over and over again.

Oh, you do PR for God? Cool, that job must come with some big perks; like VIP line into heaven.
