So here's something interesting.

In the midst of one of my usual can't-be-cold-turkey-for-a-day fits, I made coffee. A mix of Timothy's noisette vanilla and Second Cup's chocolate truffle. Added some evaporated milk (Carnation's), since we're officially out of milk and soy milk apparently was NOT meant to be a coffee cream (nobody likes curdles).

What was cool is that i lifted my spoon up and realized you don't get the regular doppler effect that you usually see with water (well, you kind of do but not all the time). the droplet didn't just sink into the coffee and ripple out. Instead the droplet actually stays in its droplet shape (i.e. a little spher-ish drop) on the surface and moves along the surface of the coffee to the edge of the cup, bounces back, and eventually just disappears (probably submerges). cool thing is that if you start spooning and dropping a lot more drops of coffee, they all do that..you get a physics lesson in transfer of kinetic energy as they bounce around and off each other.

here's an amateur video of it: Atomic coffee

I would try to get better footage but my brother didn't want to play cameraman all night and I really wanted to chug the coffee :)

Weird. I thought it was cool though. Why does it do that?
