Well today we didnt do much except watch mythbusters. they tested quite a few myths. they tested if a postage stamp was enough to critically unbalance a helicopter to the point that it would crash. so what the did was get a 1/7 scale model of helicopter and put seventh of a postage stamp on one of the blades. that didnt do anything so they then tested it on the real thing. again, it only affected the blades by 1 one thousandth of an inch. they also tested, or more or less found why dropping mentos in diet coke creates a geiser. the did research and found that it was due to four things: the CO2, the aspartame, the caffeine, and the nucleation that that pitted surface of the mentos causes.
