At the time I thought it was something everyone had to suffer through. Never suspected it was a bunch of hippy vampires from U of I.

Would that not interfere with the groundwater?
- jazoom 10y agoThe pitch drop experiment is at The University of Queensland. It's kinda funny how we missed the last drop due to technical difficulties. Hopefully we'll get to see the next one.
