So that whole European airspace mess could have been avoided if they'd just had a green food coloring injection system in place on Eyjafjallajökull (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull)? Dang.

Ohhhh these are fantastic. Is it wrong that I sort of want to print some and use them as nursery decorations? (Or, I would if I had a nursery.)

I love it.

Of course, egg whites, food coloring, dry ice, and hot water work too. And then you have dry ice to experiment with. :-)
