Phoenix Report post Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) My eyes were watering just doing it. Never underestimate the stinging power of a vat of 85% alcohol. So that's the secret ingredient to Marteau! It'll be a great day when I can get this in the States. I've now tried many, many absinthes and this is in my top 2 (the other being Jade Edouard). Hmmmmm, tear's of Hiram.

PeterL Report post Posted August 9, 2008 Got my bottles of Marteau and thought while sober I would try my hand at taking some Pics. Marteau is so good it shouldn't be retired. In fact, I think riots in the streets are called for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Le Gimp Report post Posted August 25, 2008 Guess what this is? Sorry, reminds me of the shark repellant dye we had in the NAVY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buddhasynth Report post Posted August 25, 2008 That would be a Fascinating experiment. When I was a kid I had a pretty pronounced Shark Fetish and read everything I could get ahold of about'em. One experiment I remember involved placing speakers in a coral reef and playing recordings of struggling fish to see what would happen; they went into a frenzy and tried to attack the speakers(serious autopilot here). At some point one of the researchers wondered what would happen if they played the Beatles instead, so they did when a large great White appeared and the shark freaked out, literally jumping out of the water to get away. That's my kind of Science. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nymphadora Report post Posted August 28, 2008 I love reading about those type of experiments. I remember reading about an experiment in plant growth in regards to some being subjected to classical, while others were bombarded with Metallica. So, ummmm......DP, T73, Hiram, and others: what do your plants listen to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dakini_painter Report post Posted August 28, 2008 Any plants in the fields listen to wild sounds, wind, rain, sunshine. crickets, coyotes at night and are bathed in moonlight when the sun goes down. In the distillery, they'd listen to the sounds of the alembic except that the traffic on main street is much more than I'd like. In the winter it'll be much quieter.
