Post-It inventor watching viral internet post-it-tricks video

David sez, "I recently photographed Art Fry, the inventor of the Post-it Note. After the shoot, I asked if he''d ever seen the Sticky Note Experiments video by Eepybird (the Mentos and Diet Coke guys). It turned out he hadn't. Well, I just happened to bring a copy of the video with me on my iPhone so I could show it to him. I filmed his reaction as he watched it."

anyone else sync both movies up based on the music and watch the reaction in concert with the performance?

0:21 in the top vid corresponds with 1:10 in the bottom vid.

@#4 you don't have enough to do.

Generally, I think it would have been more apt to say "I filmed his underreaction"...! I wasn't expecting breakdancing, but really!

@fee
There is always time to play. If there is not, then something is wrong.

maybe subtle but many great things are like ideas! this is great because the nice older inventor fellow appreciates eepybird's take.
but this is also a demonstration of the continuance of idea. this also demonstrates a great principle of dynamic of philosophical thought-idea changes, returns to creator...etc.cool thanks
