We dropped a standard serving from a fourth floor landing, and it bounced to above the second floor. I am not mocking you, Ron, this is a true story. We did manage to confirm our hypothesis (Dorm Jello Brand etc. etc. is inedible) but Phys. Rev. Lett. unaccountably rejected our paper. So did Phys. Chem., and Institutional Foodservice Monthly. :-) Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900
