Didja ever notice...

... That if you store bottles of beer laying on their side in the refrigerator, they'll foam up much more when you open then than if you'd stored them standing up? I wonder why this is? It can't _just_ be because of the slight extra shaking caused by rotating the bottle from a horizontal to a vertical orientation, can it? I figure it's probably because when laid flat, the side of the bottle that's 'up' dries out some, and when the beer is sloshed back right before opening, this somehow provides a better surface for bubbles to form. I'll have to ask my Chemistry professor about that tomorrow after the final, she'd probably know.

Well, of COURSE not.

No snow day for me, oh no. Gotta take stupid Chemistry final. Moreover, forgot that min-museum in Physics building was closed for finals week, so I could not sacrifice pennies to the Black Hole God. I'm doomed, I tell you, doomed!

Considering the snow, today might actually have been a good day to wear my normally wildly impractical knee-high pirate boots. On the other hand, they have no ankle support whatsoever, so that might not have worked out. Bleh.
