h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's an improved version of the 'bendy chicken bone' experiment - just the sort of thing that makes science a good conversation topic instead of another boring school subject. I like it

bendy chicken bone experiment...... how does that go?

You can do this with any bone. Immerse a bone in vinegar and leave for a week or so. The acid will dissolve the calcium which gives the bone rigidity. You can actually tie a human thigh bone in a granny knot using this method.



Or so I'm told.

kewl thanks!
