Blinding us with Science...Drunk Science.

The bambino was back out of the closet and after a perfect bit of cold conditioning, it was ready for a second taste.  оченъ хорошо!  So yummy!  Success, we revelled in it.  The pride was practically oozing from our varied and numerous pores.

That's when Capt FB busted out the first sample of our Oatmeal Stout for a taste.  We passed the sample round and each took a whif and a sip.  Can pride ooze?  Well it can now, cause we were dripping in it.  Someone grab my mop.  The taste was marvelous.  Oaty, dark, smooth and delicious.  This was looking promising.

Pizza was again shared and we started in on a few stronger drinks.  We tossed together a few of our signature Sunny Whippy Nipples (recipe below) and got to work doodling up some labels for our beers.  With Capt. FB at the pen we got creative.  Our results will be spectacular.  Then we realized something.  The pens we'd been using feature "erasability" in the form of thermo-sensitive ink that "disappears" when heated by the friction of rubbing the pen cap against it.  So we got to thinking....

Someone call Bill Nye or the Mythbusters cause Science shit just got real!

First we experiment by popping a piece of paper that we'd scribbled on into the microwave, enthusiastic when it came out blank in parts.  Then we busted out the lighter and held the flame in front of our writing and cheered like Handi-Capable cheerleaders when the writing magically disappeared.

That's when things got serious.  We busted open one of the pens and emptied the content onto the butt of a soda can and held the lighter near, on bated breath, waiting for the ink to disappear.  At first nothing...then something...then...Oh my god!! It was working, we shouted!!  The ink was turning white. We bathed in the post scientific success-sheen but the gears in our heads were still grinding...

Does the ink return to it's original color when chilled?  Into the freezer the can went and only moments later Capt. FB retrieved the, once again, red ink coated can.

That's when I picked up the package of unused pens and read the disclaimer that said heating the ink would cause it to turn white but chilling it would restore the color.  Go Science!!  Boo Reading!! The Scientific Method lives on!
