This is the kind of experiment where I would look away for the split second it implodes and miss the whole thing.

It's getting ready to have a violent reaction, you need to go up right next to it, bend down, put your face right next to it, grab some of that ice, and put it on top. I'll be over here at a safe distance. Go.

What's the deal with the chick in the light green dress? Is she seeing anyone or what?
