Crushing the bottle explains the air displacement in the bottle - but how do you explain the air displacement down his throat?

I too can open my throat and pour a Pint of water down without swallowing but my mouth is tuned up and open so displaced air can escape. His mouth is closed around the mouth of the bottle. That water should be shooting out his nose - Definitely FAKE

Ok, I'll start with a few things that most people would probably agree with, but the police force currently would fight like hell to avoid. How about we decide to actually punish cops who break existing rules and laws. Use testing to weed out unbalanced power hungry or corrupt types from becoming cops. QUIT hiring COMBAT veterans to become PEACE officers. I'm sure there are many things that could be done to fix the problem with the police, its just that it's not being done because the police think the only problem is that we, the lowly people, dont always follow ALL commands,and sometimes we need to be put in our place. >> ^shveddy:
False dichotomy, among other things. There are innumerable intermediate steps between "allowing them to do whatever they want to you" and "shooting the motherfuckers." I'll admit that there is a point where armed resistance is warranted, but if you think that we have arrived anywhere near that point with enough frequency to warrant armed resistance, then you are crazy.
Yes, there are plenty of instances of people's rights being violated - but in 99.99% of those occasions, I think the problem can best be solved through other means.
Do I think that the students who got peppersprayed at UC Davis had their rights violated?
Yes, I do. But this guy seems to suggest that the proper response is for the students to pull guns and start a shoot-out. Let's imagine what that would look like for a second:
One of the students peers through the caustic mist with righteous fury and a wet t-shirt over his mouth. He can feel the comforting weight of his Barretta, held close to his heart in a chest holster, and he knows that this is the moment to act. He stands up tall despite the onslaught of bright orange asphyxiation, reaches for his piece and takes aim. Somewhat startled, the officer is suddenly defenseless with his canister and it is not long before he crumples to the ground in an ever expanding pool of blood. He basks in a brief moment of clarity before chaos reigns. His fellow students are quick to bear arms themselves, but the training, body armor and poise of the officers allows them a significant head start and the students suffer heavy casualties in this initial volley.
Not to be deterred by the deaths of their friends, the occupy movement takes up refuge in the life sciences building which, designed in the late sixties with a brutalist aesthetic, is mostly concrete and as such is a perfect fortress from which to outlast the ensuing siege and inspire innumerable citizens on the outside world to take up arms as well. Guerrilla warfare is the only tactic effective in such asymmetrical circumstances, and after a few weeks of violence the powers that be succumb to international pressure and agree to negotiate with the 99%...
...or we could launch an official investigation, fire the guy as a scapegoat after an admittedly long, expensive and cumbersome process, and let the public outrage that ensued lead to a more cautious approach to future student protests. Bloggers and editorialists collectively write millions of words on the subject, increasing awareness and generally shaming the agency that allowed it to happen.
Not perfect, but a whole hell of a lot more civilized.
Any time you use guns against a government entity in he US, you will eventually be caught and put in jail. Period. The only way to avoid this is to be a small part of a large popular movement that eventually overthrows the US government, and I don't see that ever happening with citizen gun-owners unless it involves guerrilla tactics. Imagine gunfights erupting at your local municipal buildings. Imagine pipe bombs at your local police station. People need to realize that this is what they are advocating when they argue for second amendment rights as a fourth check and balance.
If you disagree with that statement, feel free to fill in a reasonable sequence of events to span the gap between "guy whose fourth amendment rights are violated guns down cop" and "said guy is vindicated, and massive changes are made to our law enforcement policies." I suspect that we are far more likely to see a greater militarization of the police in response.
I humbly propose that we join the civilized world and come up with more creative ways to correct our problems.

I'd already watched it but forgotten. I'm so suggestible. At least I'm learning.>> ^ReverendTed:

My best guess: water would shoot out the top and bottom, and soon after, the sides of the bottle would be sucked in from the momentum of the water leaving and nothing replacing it.>> ^grahamslam:
So what would happen if he exploded it without the cap on it?

Exactly like we see in their "self portrait" burst. The top flies off and the sides of the bottle collapse inward.

The water is shooting out the bottom because of an explosion in between the bottom and the top. The force of the explosion is working in both directions, so water coming out the bottom is reacting to the same pressure was water in the top, and couldn't be drawing a vacuum from the other side of the explosion. Explosions pressurize in all directions.

To create a vacuum in the top, water would have to be creating suction by travelling down the bottle, away from the cap. Yet in frames 5-11 the collection of bubbles in the top half shrinks and stays in one place. That tells me that as the water shoots out the bottom, the water in the top half of the bottle isn't moving at all and remains pressurized by the explosion, so the evacuating water couldn't be creating a vacuum in the top.>> ^lucky760:

I would guess it's because of the vacuum created when that mass of water explodes out the bottom. In the instant it escapes, there needs to be something to fill the upper end of the bottle, so the top gets sucked down.
I'd wager that if they took off the cap the top of the bottle would no longer collapse (or if inadequate air was sucked in it would still collapse, but to a lesser degree).
But what do I know.

While I commend him for doing something to stop the crime, The way he waves the gun around, you can see he how he treats the gun like a toy and fires indiscriminately and where he could easily hit a bystander. PEW PEW PEW!

I'm glad he got a chance to relive his childhood cowboy fantasies, but he just as easily could have harmed an innocent.

At least six shots and he only hits twice and at one point he even shoots out the door into the public street. It's all well and good that he stopped the crime, but it's just as likely, if not more so, that he himself could have gotten someone killed. Or worse, the criminals could have taken the weapon from him and they'd have another weapon in their hands. If this truly was the best way to stop crime. Stuff like this wouldn't be the exception, it would be the rule.

The geezer got lucky..pure and simple. I'd rather let these guys take my stuff than to risk some asshole with delusions of grandeur making the situation worse.

Stuff can be replaced, lives cannot.

If we could put as much money and effort into social issues as we do on guns, we wouldn't have to worry about this stuff in the first place. These guys wouldn't have to commit a crime in the first place. Stop the problem at the source instead of dealing with the symptoms.

Oh don't hate them for their race.Hate them for their Player Class--Gangsta,where anyone who figures out how to string a dozen words together in front of a microphone feels entitled to Phat Lootz,or they blame "the Man" for their failures and consider random acts of violence and theft their Just Retribution we somehow owe them. I can appreciate Good Music of any sort,and acknowledge the Art and Craft of its creating auible sculpture with sound and voice. However,I will say I can do so without buying into a whole subculture that thinks wearing your pants half off is a fashion statement. I don't see the Enya Posse in Blue Wold on their faces and sporting designer kilts running around(although we should!). To quote a line from Animal House "Stoned Drunk and Stupid is no way to go through life,son.",and that's what the subtext of the subculture amounts to. Flashy glamour is nice,but none of it matters in the face of Real Work and the instinctual Need to get it done. This seperates the Artist from the Mob,wanting to devote time away from a constant party and to physical and emotional labour to conjure something meaningful magical and new. Stepping back to admire the fruits of your handywork is a high no mass of shiney strangers can ever hope to beat. Someone in that Flashmob has orginizational skills...300 people is quite a turn out. Wouldn't it be Nice if they had much enthusiasm for something Positive,like a neighborhood watch? twittering about crimes happening to the police can help keep their neighborhoods safe,which are crawling with drugs and shoot outs."Yo Dawg! The Bruthah from that Bodega Shooting is here on Main Street!" Maybe if the "Hood wasn't such a Scarey Place,businesses would come in. And if they didn't feel it was their right to steal,they might find good jobs from the new businesses and earn a living instead of demanding one.

But one has to have Morals for that. I see none in that video. People who don't mind rampaging in front of a sea of security cameras.Can you convince such people to Play Nice at all,or past the point when doing the right thing inconveniences you?Do people sometimes need the threat of Guns even to keep civil? Suddenly snide remarks about Evolution suddenly make SENSE. But its SOcial Evolution at play here,and at fault. WE are Rome trying to convince a native of the Province they conquered to kindly not shit in the street. Sometimes you need clubs for that. But something tells me these people need their lives managed for them. Maybe wall up a ten block radius of a poor neighborhood,move all the families out nd let them play hip Hop as a live action video game where the bullets are real and cameras everywhere record the drama Live! The ultimate Reality TV Urban Experience fully packaged and ready for heavy merchendising! They can compete for resources and earn fabulous prizes,and hopefully only shoot themslves instead of the rest of us just trying to get on with life.


The Hip Hop experience...Unrated on Pay Per View.Visit our Website and Twitter your opinion on the utterly SICK way DJ Do Wah Ditty Diddy Dum Diddy Do had his ear shot off in the fight for the corner of 134th street and Avenue F! Log in with your SmartPhone and soak up all the sleeze with the HoodieCam!

It'll happen. You'll see. It's very Roman.

Now they should pretend their burglarizing or having a shoot-out. That'll make the cops laugh. /s


Seriously, what a douche/lame thing to do. Some pranks earn a smile, this one deserves a whack in the cojones for wasting valuable servicemen resources for the sole "pleasure" of pranking the cops.

I think you two have different meanings for 'spirituality'.
jonny is referring to the brain euphoria you get when communing deeply with those you love, nature, art and/or the universe; the euphoria you get playing music, dancing or experiencing a psychedelic drug trip; that weird and beautiful feeling in your brain that everything and everyone is connected. For me it feels like invisible tendrils shooting out and intermingling with other peoples invisible tendrils. This type of 'spirituality' is a brain state - a feeling - not a supernatural force.
I believe you are speaking about 'spirituality' as a supernatural force, dealing with spirits and deities.
IMO, we are all spiritual. When you go deep into playing guitar and singing, you are in touch with your humanity. When you are connecting with Lann on a deep level, you two are in touch with your humanity. We all seek out those feelings of connectedness in a variety of ways.
Religion does activate the same part of the brain that creates the euphoria I speak of. If you want, I can dig up an article that goes into more detail on this. I think this is why religion has traditionally had problems with music, dance, sex and drugs. Spiritual competition.


Using a hocus-pocus word to describe being a social animal is not helping. There are no definitions of spirit, spiritual, or spirituality that do not rely on some belief in the supernatural.

Once of my fave freeze-frames from the series was when they did it while pouring a cup of coffee. They must have had a hose feeding the pot, because there was so much coffee going everywhere.


The one you're talking about starts around 4:45 in this clip.

Was that on purpose??????


Not the fire that started on the ground causing everyone to start running for life.

My brother explained it to me somewhat, there was liquid fuel in the lines and when they opened up the valve to start the flare stack thus supplying it with the fuel source ( vapor to be burned). That liquid is from a fuckup of theirs as the fuel condensed in the lines and was pushed out by the vapor and it landed causing pools and the flare was shooting out globs of liquid on fire and it fell onto the ground lighting the pools of fuel on fire.

THIS is how ya learn the hard way

Something kinda strange, look at 0:05 just before the lead girl comes in line with the first tree, there's a sorta misty, amorphous form that shoots out ahead of her. What is that?
My first thought was visible breath on a cold day, but the volume seems kinda large for that and people in the video are wearing shorts and short sleeves which would seem to preclude conditions being that cold. Dunno, just find it kinda curious.
