Oct 28 2008Dynamics Of A Cough Caught On Film
That's right, what you're looking at is some nasty bastard coughing, and the resulting air turbulence. Sick!
Schlieren photography involves shining collimated light past a knife edge onto a target, and variations in the refractive index of moving air create "shadows" of a sort in the image captured on film, and it's most often used to solve aeronautical air-flow problems, or weapons in action.
Okay, I don't understand what that means. But scientists plan to use the data gathered from these photos to study the spread of diseases like SARS, AIDS, the herp, the clap, the snap, the shocker, the Spocker, the body rocker, gingivitis, crabs, and hangnails. Just kidding, not SARS.

Now GW, all you need to do is post the dynamics of a fart and you'll have both ends covered.

Damn, I got beat to it, I want to see a fart in action as well.

Fake!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell, the shadows are all wrong. Plus it used all those weird colors.
It looks like the scene in Never Back Down where Baja's parents trip on some Shrooms and paint the house.

Anyone's AIDS actin' up today? Take some Robitussin!
This one's neat, as well as the video put out years ago regarding a person's sneeze. Coolies.

I wonder if they could do that to someones potent pee...
17. LSDiesel - October 28, 2008 3:44 PM
@13, it wasn't all that funny on the last post, and your attempt to get a laugh on this one didn't go over very well either. But I'm glad you think you're getting some sort of point across.
So, about this picture. Looks kind of like he had some of my mom's cooking.
18. Huh? - October 28, 2008 4:53 PM
Looks more like he is burping than coughing.

Comeon now. That's sort of irresponsible to print.
