A strange question....
Feb. 28th, 2012 12:48 ambut, is 'browning solution' a thing and if so, what is it?
ETA: Ok, I figured it out what I was thinking of. Not 'Brownian Solution' but 'Brownian Motion.' I blame Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
The principle of generating small amounts of finite improbability by simply hooking the logic circuits of a Bambleweeny 57 Sub- Meson Brain to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a strong Brownian Motion producer (say a nice hot cup of tea) were of course well understood - and such generators were often used to break the ice at parties by making all the molecules in the hostess's undergarments leap simultaneously one foot to the left, in accordance with the Theory of Indeterminacy.
Doh...
