Austria performed poorly in alpine skiing at the 2010 Winter Olympics, winning "only" four medals. The men were shut out of the medals, after taking 8 in Torino and 7 in Salt Lake City. The rheometer shown in this video was manufactured in Graz, Austria by Anton Paar. Would the Austrians like to take their instrument back?

The video below shows Professor Hatzikirakos's lab at the University of British Columbia. (It's the same lab that was referenced in this post.

Rheometer Advertising (#1)
This is my favorite rheometer ad, but, after all, I wrote it.
It's based on the sign that appeared in the 1993 World Series in Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium which said "Will pitch middle relief for food." The ad was released in 2002.
