Impressive effort... did you notice they had to put a pencil under the edge of each bottle to make it lean forward or it wouldn't have worked?

Cool. I wouldn't call it a waste of time, though...they had to empty all those bottles somehow.

As to higher education: My new tenant, who is just about finished with his Master's degree in physics, called me the other day... "How do you turn on the vacuum cleaner?"

Yeah, he's basically a social misfit and can't walk/chew gum at the same time. But at least now he knows how to turn on a vacuum cleaner, as instructed by a (barely) high school grad.

You're a physics grad, right?
