I was just thinking, since an earlier poster said laboratories use corks in
certain glass containers specifically because they prevent the containers
from exploding under pressure, that the cork must not have been doing its
job, or that perhaps if it was one of those new-type non-porous corks, it
might have acted differently somehow.

So there.
