[Robotgroup] The Golden Book Of Chemistry Experiments

[Don Colbath]

Looking at this lead to about an hours worth of surfing at 2am and found 
this cool site.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7932498063864415301  It's videos 
of art made with ferrofluid by ummm,ummm,ummm some Japanese guy.   We 
need to get some of this stuff.
