Yay for Physics!

Cleaning out the turtle tank. votania bought a hose to drain the tank with.

marxdarx was intent on doing the siphoning the old-fashioned way, and sucking on the hose until it started to flow. I suggested an alternative. He tried the sucking, but gave it up as a bad job.

I then implemented my idea: the thing was draining into the bathtub already, so use the shower to fill the line to start the flow of water, and then reverse it by putting the appropriate end of the hose in the bathtub.

Not surprisingly, it worked.

Happiness. Except for the part about blowing out votania's back.
