How to Nail Jello to a Wall

While this would make a good title for a Monty Python sketch, this was an actual experiment. Links to other, odder, experiments at the bottom. And many amusing quotes, including, "While you can nail ballistic gel to a wall, you have to work fast and use enough nails."

They also have instructions for making a ballistics gel approximation using regular gelatin. :^)

(From the Cheney investigation: "Our intention was to establish with some accuracy the distance at which the shotgun was fired. And also to see what happens when you blast a watermelon with a shotgun at close range.")

Yeah. Some of them are a bit...risqué...but still amusing. :^)
