Whiskey webs: Microscale "fingerprints" of bourbon whiskey Stuart J. Williams, Martin J. Brown, VI and Adam D. Carrithers, Physical Review Fluids (PDF) Finish up your weekend with glass of your favorite bourbon. And while you imbibe, these findings from researchers at the University of Louisville (because of course) will keep you company. A team from the school's department of mechanical engineering observed web-like patterns or "fingerprints" when a drop of American whiskey evaporated. The same characteristic isn't present in Scotch whisky or other liquors. What's more, each pattern was a unique indicator of both whiskey type and age.
WoW Moviewatch: Born to be Wild Turkeys!
We sadly missed this movie until today. However, Dakgorim's fantastic video Born to be Wild Turkeys is a welcome send-off for the Thanksgiving holiday, and the Pilgrim's Bounty game event. Featuring one of Steppenwolf's best known songs, and what seems like a half dozen turkeys going completely wild, this video is going to be a fun one to revisit in years to come. Born to be Wild Turkeys strikes me as a movie that not only should have been made, but it absolutely had to be made the second Pilgrim's Bounty hit the servers. The combination of motorcycles, turkeys, and roundabout bourbon references is a match made in heaven. Here's hoping everyone had a pleasant feasting time, and that we're all now a few pounds heavier.
