Intriguing! Has anybody here ever tried something like this?

Shows a keen grasp of real-world physics, kinetic energy, action of liquids... maybe the guy is an astronomy student, Ryan?

And yet another sound argument for fine wine being bottled under screwcaps!

Hoke...

Definitely not a plus for screwcaps. I suspect that neither you nor I have ever tried to unscrew a bottle cap when we have the shakes. And "the shakes" are rather common at a certain class of drinkers. 8)
