I don't think this counts. Look at the live feed.

If you took a dump and it looked like that, would you consider it to have "dropped?"

Wait a sec--hold everything. The thing is still connected by a thick band. They are calling it a "drop" because it got low enough that it touched the prior drop, which is sticking way up from the bottom of the receptacle.

I say no drop until it separates. And, they ought to clean out the prior drop remnants to keep it from impeding the coming drop. This whole thing is bullshit now.

Yeah, but it's no longer supported from the top. It's supported by the bottom as well. Is the definition of a "drop" that it gets no support from the top, or is it that it gets support from the bottom? This is quite perplexing.

I think it drops as soon as it gets support from the bottom. This is a test of viscosity or whatever. As soon as it gets support from something other than the top, you can no longer test viscosity.

At first glance, I agree that they should clear out the bottom. But then I started wondering how far it would stretch before it broke and literally fell. I'm not sure that six inches is enough. They may have to start this whole thing over and set the hole up above a fifty-foot drop to eliminate ambiguity.

Too late. It's official.

It does seem that way.

...and Buck invested so much interest. Such a pity.

Think about a raindrop--if it was still connected to the cloud from which it descended, I bet we wouldn't call it a "drop."

They really should have worked all this out beforehand.

It's official, people truly will watch anything. there will be plenty of "thats what she said" jokes when it finally drops.

Doesn't look official to me

the elusive nine drop?

And here I thought it this was going to be video of a really great breaking ball.
