Recipe for Making Symetrical Holes in Water

scottZed writes "Danish researchers found a simple way to make curiously shaped air holes in a bucket of water. Simply rig the bucket to have a spinning plate at the bottom, and depending on the speed, you can get an ellipse, three-sided star, square, pentagon, or hexagon. The effect may help explain such shapes seen in atmospheric disturbances on Earth and other planets. One practical use: really trippy washing machines."

    It's symmetrical not symetrical.

    I know that the editors don't look at the summaries, but don't they even check the heading for spelling errors any more?

    While you make pretty speeches, I'm being cut to shreds. You feed me to the lions. A delicate balance.
