I know I’ve already emailed quite a few people about this already but thought I post it here for readers that haven’t seen it yet. It appears that if you put Mentos into Diet-coke it causes an almighty Explosion. I believe Mentos are some type of American mint, my good friend Julian E Prestoon Esquire informs me that it works with other more British mints.

Here’s the first experiment over at Google Video, the second experiment is also worth watching, they explode hundred’s of bottles of diet coke in a domino effect! For people who don’t know what Google Video is; it’s like Youtube but not as good. For people who don’t know what Youtube is; its like Telly but on your computer and not as good.

Being a man of science I plan to conduct some of my own Coke and Mint explosion experiments over the festive season. I’m predicting the Mint in a Coke trick could be for the Naughties what the Salt in a pint of beer gag was for the Nineties.

• FACT: The technical term for putting Salt in someones pint so it explodes is aSALTing someone.
• FACT: In some states in American aSALTing someone is a crime punishable by the death sentence
• FACT: Some Americans tried to ban the Harry Potter books, this is because they are idiots
• FACT: Americans couldn’t ban Harry Potter because Harry Potter is magic!

Pictured above Harry Potter, he didn’t really have anything to do with Diet Coke, Mentos or this Article.

As an active member of the blogosphere I often like to read and contribute to other peoples blogs. Today I was learning how to improve my already amazing levels of productivity by reading 11 Tips for Time Management on Web Worker Daily. A link to a blog called Brazen Careerist caught my eye, being an uber young-professional I thought this sounded right up my street. Whilst reading this blog I came across a new concept: the Quarter-life crisis. To be honest it doesn’t sound half as fun a mid-life crisis, for one it doesn’t involve buying motorbikes and sports-cars or running off with your secretary. Apparently the Quarter-life crisis is becoming increasingly common there’s a good explanation of exactly what it is Wikipaedia.

FACT: The average age for mid-life crisis is 46. Who’s up for buying Harleys and forming a Biker Gang with me 2029?
