     The viscosity data frame was the result of the following ST370
     experiment performed in the fall of 1996. The students'
     description is as follows.

     For this experiment we used three different liquids: water,
     cooking oil and shampoo. First we placed a cup of shampoo in a
     microwave oven, and heated it for 50 seconds. Immediately after
     that we transfered the liquid to a dishwasher container. We turned
     this container upside down with the spout closed and poked a hole
     on the bottom part of it. Then we placed a half cup measuring
     container beneath the dishwasher container. Then we opened the
     spout of the dishwashing container, and measured the time it took
     for liquid to come out and fill the half cup container. We
     repeated the same procedure with each liquid three times. Then we
     placed the liquids at room temperature in the container and
     repeated the above prcedure three times as well. Then we placed
     each liquid in the freezer 10 minutes at a time and repeated the
     prior procedure three times.

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     A data frame with 26 observations on the following 3 variables.

     _l_i_q_u_i_d : liquid used (shampoo, oil or water)

     _t_e_m_p : temperature (hot or cold)

     _t_i_m_e : time (in seconds)
