This is pretty cool, a guy synced up his Christmas lights to the THX sound that plays before a movie starts. I can’t imagine how many hours and weeks this must have taken. Well worth the effort!

Dear Yahoo!:
Does blowing on hot soup really cool it down?
Gary

Dear Gary:
Your question brings to mind Aesop’s fable about a cold, hungry man who was lost in the woods. A kind satyr took pity on him and invited him into his home. At one point, the man blew on his hands to warm them, and later, when the satyr served him dinner, the man blew on his soup to cool it.

The satyr kicked the man out, stating “I will have nought to do with a man who can blow hot and cold with the same breath.” (Hence the expression about an unpredictable person “blowing hot and cold.”) But we digress, so let’s get to your question. Did the man give up his nice warm accommodations for “nought,” or did he know what he was doing when he blew on his soup to cool it?

It appears blowing on your soup does have a valid scientific effect. According to this light-hearted transcript from a scientific radio show broadcast by Indiana University, it’s caused by evaporation.

When you sit down to that steaming bowl of soup, the faster-moving, hotter particles “leap off the surface,” evaporating and leaving the slower-moving, cooler particles behind. But these evaporated particles form a little cloud of vapor above your bowl, saturating the air and preventing any more evaporation. When you blow on your soup, you disperse the vapor cloud. This clears the air, so to speak, for more hot particles to evaporate, thus cooling the soup.

Of course, just ’cause it works doesn’t mean it’s considered proper or polite.

This guy shows his buddy how to operate his new treadmill. Watch him screw with his friend and turn it up to a high speed then walk away. I love the friggin noises this guy makes when he realizes he is screwed.

Nothing was more embarrasing than when your phone rang in the middle of a big lecture. But what I never could understand was the people who actually answered the phone in the middle of class. Apparently this professor doesn’t appreciate it either.
