You might be a dork

If you think this is cool. I think this is cool.

For eons people have wondered what the shear rate of swallowing was. Then one time someone figured out how to figure it out. Basically this is what they did...

Make several samples of Newtonian goop for people to swallow, each of a different viscosity. Have them rank these as 'thick' and 'thin'. Give them a power law fluid to swallow and rank. Now plot and extrapolate.
