Today's Fun Science Fact (clip and save!):
A can of Diet Coke, if dropped from approximately chest-level, will, in fact, explode, and with surprising force.
Try this at home! (Of course, if you do, I suggest you own a mop. Which I don't.)

This was the same day we figured out that if you just barely nick a shaving cream can with a .223 round from an AR-15, it'll shoot foam about 5 feet in the air.
Don't get me started on the starter fluid/sterno/AR-15 combinations...
Less mess more effect
