Freedom to Pursue Higher Things

One of the great things about freedom is that individuals can choose to devote their time and resources to the pursuit of higher things, such as the quest for religious truth, advancements in the arts and sciences, or other pursuits that enrich all of our lives.

Thanks to EepyBird.com for documenting one such advance, an awe-inspiring blend of art and science exploiting the marvelous physics of Mentos and Diet Coke. I was first introduced to this phenomenon through SteveSpanglerScience.com, and verified it later that night using ginger ale.
