Is It Time To Re-Appraise CHI?

So we've discussed how much they pay. But are they any good? Actually, I think maybe they are now. Here's the new spot for Drench mineral water. Puppets are funny. Fact. Okay so it drags a tiny bit - the 60 is probably better than the 90 - but the sight of Brains grabbing his crown jewels is not one I'll forget in a hurry.

Monday Nothing, Tuesday Nothing, Wednesday and Thursday Nothing...

Some of us have trouble storing things and then retrieving them effectively, whether they be pair of socks or relatives' birthdays. I am therefore extremely impressed by the physicists who successfully stored nothing, and then successfully retrieved it . I feel an IgNobel coming on, though of course when this stuff turns into the basis of every computer in the world maybe they'll get a real Nobel....
