I came in towards the end of the run on this show but I have good memories of it early in the morning before heading off to school, and so I decided to see about getting some of my childhood back with episodes of his show on dvd. I didn’t expect though to find it via a commercial site!

And I’d like to draw attention to Episode 13 - Nipple Extension. :eek:
I have no recollection of that episode but it sounds rather risque for Mr. Wizard…
I couldn’t find it. I couldn’t find numbered episodes on any of those pages. Where is it?
Link to the dvd with the episodes on it: http://www.mrwizardstudios.com/mrwizardsworld_volume4.htm
It doesn’t give me anything more than the title of the experiments in each episode.
It is Volume 4 of the DVD:

And the phrase is nipple expansion, not extension. Right above exercise for cows, which may be related.
Why so it is… still wondering what the heck it’s referring to though.
I would just like to say that I’m really bummed that, once again, the band name I was gonna use–the Tshirts have already ordered–has been stoled out from under me.
“Nipple exapansion” sounds like one of those weird sex fetishes. My workplace software would probably block it.
I would say “nipple expansion” has something to do with inflating a rubber nipple.
BTW isn’t Rubber Nipple Salsmen a great Ren & Stimpy episode?
Call the police…
“You keep your dreams, and I’ll keep the money! Now shut up and drive!”
My very faulty memory is pulling up an image of a baby bottle filled with baking soda and vinegar, then covered with the nipple. Shake, and you’ve got an expanding rubber nipple!
Mr. Wizard lives about 5 miles away from my home in America. He’s even listed in the phone book.
I remember him doing something like this. Obviously, it was the type of nipple where you have to poke your own hole.
Sorry to dash your hopes, guys.
I was suprised to discover that Mr. Wizard (alias Don Herbert) is still alive and well at the age of 88- and that he was a bomber pilot during World War II!
My memory from the 80s shows says it’s a baby bottle filled with club soda. Put the nipple on, shake, and eventually the nipple expands enough to hold all the liquid.
