50 Years of the Lava Lamp

[quote]A quick drink in a pub in the heart of Hampshire's New Forest was to give the world an iconic symbol of the psychedelic 1960s that is still going strong as it marks its 50th anniversary.

Edward Craven Walker was inspired to create the lava lamp after admiring an oil and water-based ornament he had spotted on display in the country inn - and in September 1963 he set up a company, now known as Mathmos, to research, develop and most importantly market his invention.[quote]

Re: 50 Years of the Lava Lamp

Ours is in the living room and is hooked up to the same power as the computer, so it gets used every time the computer is used. The tetris lamp is hooked up to it as well so we get pretty pretty when we're watching stuff or playing games 8-)
