Garry, the "floatability" of the brain tissue would most likely depend on the fat content of the cream and/or whether any air is mixed in with it during the preparation. Did you use Bailey's, or a substitute?

p.s. - your phrase "My brains dropped to the bottom of the shot glass" sounds classic...

I posted this article, and I'd like to clarify my passing comment regarding the workmen's accents.

I lived and worked in east-central Kentucky for ten years and married a young woman who was born in the Appalachian foothills. I would never make fun of my friends there, or my relatives who lived in eastern Tennessee. I find accents of all kinds fascinating, having been born in Minnesota and having lived in Massachusetts and in the heart of Texas.

I posted the video for the cool specialized tools and the complex workmanship of what one would have thought was a simple task; eavesdropping on the delightful conversation was in my view a bonus.

I believe it has been postulated that the desiccated virus could persist in British burial vaults and tombs. One wonders if that Somali cook might have encountered some grave artifacts in the desert...

@Geekman - the weight of the car didn't affect mileage at a constant speed (it might have an effect during acceleration or on upgrades). In any case, Mythbusters controlled for this by taking the clay removed in the dimpling process and putting it in the back seat of the car, so that the dimpled car weighed the same as the undimpled control.

Those who think this is a hoax will probably not be convinced by similar evidence from other sites, but here is a comparable image from the Royal Society in Great Britain (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2009/jun/16/pollution-waste), and here's one from the Seattle Times (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/pacificnw04232006/coverstory.html), and here's a study out of Hawaii (http://research.pomona.edu/karnolab/2009/07/21/isi-island-scene-investigations-into-pelagic-plastic/).

Wayne, if one insists on such taxonomic precision, then one has to refer to birds as dinosaurs ("Using the strict cladistical definition that all descendants of a single common ancestor must be included in a group for that group to be natural, birds would thus be dinosaurs and dinosaurs are, therefore, not extinct.")

Plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and other aquatic contemporaries also fail your definition of dinosaur. Sometimes precision becomes too pedantic for the public.
