I've known about the concept and principles of an airlift pump for many years, decades even. But today a colleague and I decided to make one out of odds and ends. It took a grand total of 30 minutes and now we're itching to try it out.

That there's a Sammy Hagar and friends album arriving at the end of September.

That there's a 'New Black Panther Party' with a branch in Texas, of all places. Unfortunately that knowledge came from this article

That Diane Youdale (AKA Jet from Gladiators) has been appearing on Big Brother as some sort of psychotherapist commentator.
