FCP stories for December 2014

December 2014 stories at FCP: (1) Do you need a gift idea? Here is musical wineglass with the required fill levels marked on the side for several of the musical notes. I use stout in my glass and then rub the rim with a wet finger. Lovely. (And the music is good too.) (2) Upward streamers in an electric storm is a little-known way that someone can die, more likely that a direct hit by lightning. (3) Floaters in your eye --- those little spots that float around in your field of view. (4) Techniques for standing or walking in a strong, gusty wind --- they work sometimes but frequently fail in amusing ways.
