Here is something more boring than watching paint dry

Thanks Vern, at last an antidote to watching football.....my life is now complete.

It's a close call between the pitch drip and Noodley's falling leaves. The excitement is almost unbearable.

I thought you meant the pitch at first!

Me too!

The Pitch's heyday was in the '80s?

Yes, quite poignant isn't it?

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

The suspense is killing me.

The time lapse is interesting to watch

According to their website no-one has seen any of the drops fall.

I looked yesterday and it was still hanging, looked again a couple of minutes ago and it had gone.

The link in the post below is what I looked at. Unfortunately I can't watch the youtube vid in the above link here, I assume it shows the drop falling, anybody confirm that?

Ooh, I do hope the scientists were wearing helmets during their observations! It would be so un-Australian not to!
