Alright alright… there once was this Australian professor called Thomas Parnell. In 1923 mr. Parnell came up with an idea to measure the flow of a piece of tar pitch over many years. Sadly, Mr. parnell never knew the outcome, because the good man obviously passed away, probably somewhere around the fourth drop, beause the eight drop fell in 2000. On the picture you see the current custodian: professor John Mainstone. He still looks like a content man. Read more about the tar drops right here.
