Oh well, take off Eh!

And since you think it is such a silly question, why don't you tell us all what surface tension is and what causes it. Why does the meniscus on water tend to flow up the side of a container while a mercury meniscus tends to be down the container.
Heck, just tell us why water is wet.
(I'll give you a hint: it is a type of bonding)

I could care less is my answer.
No need to get all defensive and jumpy. It appears your surface tension coupled with a large buildup of condensation is causing water vapor to build up on your neurons and synapses. This in turn is causing you to drop well below the max 100 hz processing power of your neuron operational rate. Suggest you ease her back a bit as this process cycle may hinder your “Long-Term Potentiation.”

Really though, it is a cool test. Even though you may not care, it still matters. No reason mocking high school kids with a pretty neat idea for an experiment.
