# 231 in the list of things you can do with a Yale Physics degree

You cannot make this up. And, you won't be surprised by it . . . at all.

It turns out that Dante Centouri no longer has blue hair, but he is still into science. He is now Director of Creative Productions at the Great Lakes Science Center and is a frequent guest on tv shows in Ohio. He is one heck of an entertaining scientist, I have to say.

Here are some clips you should definitely watch. They made me laugh. Click here to watch Dante smash frozen roses, or here to see him crush an oil drum.

As one of the reporters said: "It wouldn't be Dante, if we didn't blow something up."

These are really heart warming videos, because they remind each and every one of us of a fundamental truth: we live in a country where a blue-haired, nose-flute playing comedian can apply his love of science for the greater good.
