Major Cool Factor Points for Prince Rupert’s Drop
Won Over By Reality
By Tim Bayer
BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—7/8/2013—On my last excursion into our shared reality here, my column was titled, “A Two-Year-Old Discussion.” This week, we’re going . . . Geek.
As an engineer, I’m always looking for cool and interesting stuff. Geek-stuff. The greater the wow-factor, the better. This time, we’re taking a closer look at “Prince Rupert’s Drop” in a video sent to me by my brother Mark.
The cool factor herein, for a guy (even an engineer guy) may be described as follows:
1) Something is destroyed.
2) The destruction is covered, lovingly, in super-slow-motion video.
Besides perfectly fulfilling Cool Factor Points 1 and 2, this video may even teach you something. It did, me.
(If you, yourselves, come across an entertaining link or video, I’d be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: [email protected].)
