"To work and create 'for nothing,' to sculpture in clay, to know that one's creation has no future, to see one's work destroyed in a day… this is the difficult wisdom that absurd thought sanctions.

Camus, from "Ephemeral Creation" in The Myth of Sisyphus

    Second, the corner store was out of Diet Coke. We tried regular Coke, which was pathetic, and Diet Pepsi, shown in the video. Neither created an impressive fountain.

    This weekend, we're going to get it right! Here's our inspiration:
