today I tested the effects of various stresses on aluminum Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

... that is, I put a Diet Pepsi in a pan and filled it [the pan] with liquid nitrogen

The can developed a crack from the top to the bottom, pretty straight, and started spilling soda into the liquid nitrogen. Interestingly, the soda stayed liquid for a while, making a liquid nitrogen/Diet Pepsi mix. Then it froze into a pepsicle attached to the can.

Playing with liquid nitrogen

Wikipedia redirects to Aluminium from Aluminum, therefore it's correct.

Clearly, potassium tells us something about their sexual preferences we'd rather not know, and sodium something of their manners.
