Here is something more boring than watching paint dry

[vernon]

A funnel of pitch is about to produce its ninth drip since 1927.

The suspense is killing me.

 

[vernon]

Just listened to the scientist on the Today programme. I know what I'll be doing for the next 20 years

Exciting innit?

My dad was born in 1927... we've been waiting about for him to do something too...

Is he a bit of a drip?

 

[classic33]

Thats thing has been producing its "next drip" for the last five years!

"You can also see students of The University of Queensland milling around outside the cabinet, so it is more exciting than watching grass grow!"

 

[Beebo]

The reason the drip's so slow is because it's in Australia and has to work against the forces pulling it off the bottom of the earth.

Did someone mention Clegg and Cameron.

Did someone mention Clegg and Cameron.

They've only been going to produce their next one for three years.

Glass is a super-cooled liquid and flows even more slowly than pitch.

Id much rather watch this than football, golf, tennis, cricket and snooker...

I agree with you up 'till Snooker, and even then, it only depends on who's playing!

Infact it flows so slowly that it would take more time to see a change than has been in the universe so far. Germanium oxide glass which flows more easily than other types, would take 10^32 years (100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) to sag. The age of the universe is only about 10^10 years (100,000,000,00).

I shan't wait up.
