Professor Set to Swim Through Syrup

The lean-muscled swimmer stands poised at the side of the pool, glances a bit apprehensively into its depths, and then dives quickly into the greenish, slimy liquid. A few gelatinous globules bob gently to the surface.

What has happened to the normally azure, chlorine-scented waters of the University Aquatic Center?

Much as the scene resembles the anxiety-fueled dream of an athlete the night before a big swim meet, the swimmer and pool actually were part of a real-world—though admittedly unconventional—foray into experimental fluid mechanics.

For a few hours last summer, a University pool was transformed into a body of water that looked more like a fully functioning swamp than a swimmer's arena.

The New DayQuil (and NyQuil) Blows ... A Lot

I'm sure you've noticed that for the past year (perhaps even longer), grocery stores and pharmacies have been keeping cold products in glass cases, requiring you to hunt down someone with a key that can get the product for you. The problem is that many of the popular over-the-counter cold medications contained a decongestant called pseudoephedrine, and it was a high-theft item because of it's ability to be used to create crystal meth.
