Made me smile :-)

Just need to find $190,000 and preferably an expanse of water so I don't kill myself :-s

So we're told that just over 70% of the Earth's surface is water, that's a lot, and if the ice caps melted, well, it'd be more.
However if you took all the water including ice, underground sources and any other source you may think of (even you!). The above illustration shows how much (or little) there actually is in relation to the earth's diameter.

In case you were wondering it's about 860 miles in diameter... (follow the links for more)

You're actually seeing 25 different drops [or segments of the stream] every second... the waveform being played through the speaker is vibrating the pipe in a uniform way, so the drops exit the pipe uniformly, the frame rate of the camera is synced with the speaker so the drops appear static, [and] the short shutter speed means the drops appear sharp and frozen in mid air [a longer shutter speed, in contrast, would capture more of each droplet's movement, causing it to appear blurry].

See a similar effect on this video I posted last year:
