Check out this link for the world's longest chemistry experiment. It started more than 80 years ago as a chemistry teacher tried to explain that pitch is really a liquid and not a solid. It's let out 8 drops through the bottom of the funnel in 80 YEARS!
No one has ever seen a drop actually fall (though I'm not sure how they let that one fall through the cracks). The next drop is due 'soon' so they have a live web-cam hooked up. You can click on the 'view it live' link below the picture for all of the 'action'. Just imagine, if you view it drop you could tell all of your friends that you saw this pinacle of science wonder!!
(and yes, thank you sunshine...I think that this officially makes me a geek now)
