Raindrops splash before they hit the ground

Interesting tidbit ...
Liquid droplets splashing against a surface are actually bouncing off a tiny cushion of air, rather than the surface itself.

Not nearly as cool as raindrops ... but thought you might like to know that the RRR are now issuing "fatwas" calling on God to kill those who offend them:

In this case it is Ex Naval Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt making an "imprecatory prayer" asking God to strike down Rev. Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

Klingenschmitt is so proud of himself that he has even posted an MP3 of his fatwa online:
