The Case of the Sound of Splashing.

One night, we were all sitting on the couch watching CSI or something eating some Miss Vickies chips no doubt when I heard the sound of splashing. I turned my head and asked "What's that?" and got up to investigate. I walked down into the kitchen and into the laundry room and found nothing. Having invested two full minutes into the exercise, Miss Vickie's Sea Salt and Vinegar began calling out to me, so I concluded my investigation thinking that it must have been the shower head in the bathroom or something. Well, the next morning we came down to the kitchen to discover the source of the splashing noise. I would never have thought of this. Here are the "crime scene" photos: The move must have shook up the bottle and one of them popped. Wow.

Here is the cork is shown against the wall a full 7 feet away - it must have hit the wall at a great rate of speed:

Case closed!
