Re: Jar of life

A wise person would have impregnated the ping pong balls with beer, what a waste of space in one's life.

Re: Jar of life

Nice clip Muddy. I used the jar demo in a class once (teaching about volume and capacity) but used water instead of beer, but never made the link of the allegory for life. Wish I had now!!

Re: Jar of life

I've seen that before somewhere, and like it.

It's very good Muddy - and true.

Re: Jar of life

Sorry but my jar of life is my Robertsons Golden Shred Marmalade.
Because without it first thing in the morning on my toast I just don't wake up to the day.

Re: Jar of life

Muddy, I have never seen it before and l thought it was really very good.
I like seeing things that put things into perspective... like them trying to put the ping pong balls in last!

Technically this might be possible if you did one ball at a time - close the lid, invert and vibrate the jar so that the denser materials would fall.

You see, ever the eternal optimist - no matter how bad things are, there's always a hope of making things better
