Watch the Pitch Drop™
This is the longest known, uninterrupted experiment in the world.
In 1927, an Australian professor put an extremely viscous liquid (asphalt, a.k.a. The Pitch, which is commonly mistaken for a solid) into a funnel and it has been slowly dripping ever since. It has dripped a drop only 8 times since 1938, and has never been seen by a human before. Now there is a web cam, and you can watch it slowly drip. Very exciting.

The only reason this should have bumped is if it is over. Is it over?

Is this drop part of the "right53"?
