Mint Sauce Bottle Rocket: SCIENCE!

Fill a regular water bottle rocket with glutinous mint sauce. Pump it up to a ridiculously high pressure and release as normal. What happens?

With thanks to all the crew that helped out, particularly those that got covered in mint sauce.

Hello. I'm Tom. These are some of the things I've made and done. They'll probably come back to haunt me in a few years' time.

I'm on stage at events and conferences round the world talking about the web, the accelerating pace of change, and tea cozies.

Two Drums and a Cymbal Fall off a Cliff – b'doom, tssh.
Mob – a talk about a flashmob gone very wrong.
Gadget Geeks – on air in 2012.
Breaking the News – Matt Gray and I bonehead the budget.
The Star Wars Weather Forecast – 'it's like Hoth out there'.
Robocoaster Challenge – reciting Shakespeare while attached to a giant robot arm.
I Know What You Did Five Minutes Ago – in which I rattle through the online privacy settings of fashionable web services, and leave a surprising message.
The Google Street View Race – one man in San Francisco versus one man in Dewsbury.
Journalism Warning Labels – making newspaper reading that much safer.
