I was reading the New Scientist book last night, called How to Fossilize Your Hamster and this was one of the very experiments I read about, while wishing I was in a pub instead of my bed (although I would instead be making Tia Maria and cream disappear instead, snert) And heyyyy, doesn't that cream formation look like Jesus Christ?

The explanation for this weird phenomenon is "saludal convection" where liquids of two densities mix together. If I am not mistaken, this experiment is even more interesting if you use Kahlua instread of Tia Maria because Kahlua is thicker.
