YouTube Clip of the Week: “A Major Headache — Fun With Dry Ice”
After the events of the last couple of weeks, what with hurricanes, financial crisis and the death of Paul Newman, I thought we could all use a little levity. This is the kind of YouTube clip that made YouTube famous — just some kid with a webcam, a huge coffee mug, a background soundtrack and some dry ice. I happen to have a sinus headache while I type this, so watching this clip is kind of cathartic. I gave it four stars.
Which then begs the question — where can you get dry ice? In quite a lot of places, actually, including an interestingly-named website called Continental Carbonic, which has the motto “Delivering Excellence in Dry Ice.” I didn’t know that there were different quality types for dry ice. How do you compare one bit of dry ice next to the other? I guess poor quality dry ice is, well, wet ice.
It’s wondering about things like this that give me a headache. Although, it can also distract me from a headache, too.
