There's a safety sign in the hallway here (literally...it came off a door and has been sitting on the floor for a few days) about lasers being used. There's a lot of smaller words about wearing goggles etc, but the two big words are DANGER and LASER, one over the other.

So I had an idea for a somewhat campy mad science weapon: the Danger Laser, which emits a beam of coherent DANGER!

I left a 6-pack of 24oz Diet Dr. Pepper bottles in the car overnight, and today saw that two of them had frozen into solid slush. The two were at opposite corners of the 6-pack, suggesting it wasn't simply a case of those being closest to the heat sink. My current hypothesis is that those two have slightly lower concentrations of carbonation or other stuff, and so had a slightly higher freeze point than the other four...and the temperature in my car was JUST on the line there.
