Got there several pages ago.

The bubbles in champagne are formed by gases forming around pieces of grit, dirt and other detritus in the glass. Scientifically speaking if your champagne has bubbles in it, the glass is dirty

Custard is a Newtonian Liquid. As in when put under pressure it acts as a solid. Fill a big bowl with custard and jump on it -BANG- just like a solid. Stand on it and you will sink, then try an remove your feet. Guess what? Unless you move them very slowly the custard will magically go solid again.

FACTOID +1

NASA spent millons of dollars to create a pen to write in zero g.
The Russians used a pencil!

The space pen. I have one - or at least the version suited to mere mortals.

John Tickle (Brainiac) did it already.

Actually I knew this before it was on Brainiac. I tried it by filling the washing up bowl of custard but it didn't work as well as it did for Mr Tickle.

I have the 30th Aniversary Apollo 11 moon landing space pen. Cost a tidy penny but it does write upside down and under water...like a pencil!!!

Thats what the russians used rather than spending $1,000,000 to develop a new pen :/

During the cold war, the Americans were astonished to discover that a crashed Russian Mig still used valve technology and not semiconductors/microchips.
Turns out that the Ruskies were clever and realised in the event of a nuclear war, the American planes would be rendered useless due to the EMP from a nuclear blast

Pure water is nonconductive.

Pure water doesn't form ice at 0C (in fact, it can stay liquid down to about -40C).
