I'm a little surprised that my buddy techfun didn't get this one!

I learned about this from the book "Universal Foam" which I highly recommend! It's a fairly short read and covers all kinds of foam events - from the meanest (bread and beer) to the largest structures in the cosmos.

Yep, a good read. I think I'll go find it and read it again. Something I hardly ever do. It's that good.
