Oh, the science. What kind of science?
Just the regular kind of science. I’m still an amateur, you know—I don’t want to go crazy with all the calculations just yet. Nothing too complicated!
Well, let me see what’s available. We have “Dropping Cats” in Room 2B, although that one’s rather labor-intensive. Normally I’d recommend “Putting Different Things in the Microwave” or “Poking People While They Nap,” but those are all full. Hm, what about “Mixing Things Together,” as led by our fantastic professor, Walter P. Creshum?
My mother always did say I had a way with a spoon!
Excellent! That’ll be a twenty dollar entrance fee, and if you just take the first corridor to your left it’s straight down the hall in 8L.
Thank you ever so much! Let’s see, here it is. Mixing Things Together?
Yes, yes! Do come in, we were just about to get started!
I see! What are you mixing?
Well, in this bowl I have mixed chocolate chips and toenails, and in this bowl I have mixed a cow’s tongue and hydrochloric acid. I was about to mix them together, and see what happens.
Ah, that does sound fascinating. Any chance I might try mixing things together?
But of course! All the things to mix are just on that counter over there, take anything you like, mix it together, and do let us know if it’s going to blow. Oh, they yelled at me rather severely the last time I shattered the windows.
Absolutely. Now, let’s see. Socks, a must-have. And an old telephone! How quaint. Well, here is some chlorine, and I’ll just take this whisk and weed-killer, and then… Oh, I wonder if they have any sea bass. Hm, sea bass, sea bass, sea bass. There we are!
What are you mixing?
All these things—the sea bass will really hit the spot. And you?
Just some oats, maple syrup, raisins, and a good helping of brown sugar.
Sounds delicious!
No! Don’t—eat it…
This tastes funny… Acgh, what is that?
Well, you didn’t give me a chance to tell you about the laundry detergent, did you?
Why on earth would you put laundry detergent in oatmeal?
Science.
THIS WAS WONDERFUL. Heather, your posts are a billion times better than maths homework...or at least Khan Academy. Science is fun, even though I have slightly boring teachers. Yesterday my chem teacher lit her hands on fire (they were filled with butanol foam) AND SHE WOULDN'T LET ME TRY IT!! Its absolutely shocking. It's like she doesn't trust me or something.
ReplyDeleteXD Thank you! It's good to know that I'm in the competitive market for the science and the math. But WHAT. That's not fair at all. If the teacher gets to do it everyone should get to do it, especially if it involves lighting one's self on fire! :O
