This is a tool I use frequently with my brass pupils when I'm teaching about the harmonic series and natural brass instruments! A lot of people stick a funnel in the end to make it look more like a real instrument, but that's optional! Mine is clear tubing my mother got me from the hospital... I don't care to know what it was used for; most people however, use a plain old garden hose!

I read something like that once... Ben Goldacre (Who is awesome: badscience.net) got a certified professional membership of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants for his dead cat Hettie. Just like "Doctor" Gillian McKieth :P

That was the most fascinating thing I've seen in ages! Some things never change- people leaping around and waving at the camera... and people still haven't learned not to wander out in front of a moving vehicle!
