Michigan Fifth-Grader Finds 27-Year-Old Smithsonian Mistake
This so sounds like me as a 5th grader. :O)
Basically, this kid points out a mistake to the Smithsonian. They write him a letter telling him he was correct. They spell his name wrong. Wow.
We need new office chairs.
I don’t think these would work for crafting, though.
Food Court Musical
This, is funny.
And here’s a link to the background information on this musical. Pretty interesting. It explains how they are connected to the mall’s public address system.
I Actually CAN Manipulate Electricity
Which makes the following timewaster that much more interesting.
Your Superpower Should Be Manipulating Electricity |
 You’re highly reactive, energetic, and super charged. If the occasion calls for it, you can go from 0 to 60 in a split second. But you don’t harness your energy unless you truly need to. And because of this, people are often surprised by what you are capable of. Why you would be a good superhero: You have the stamina to fight enemies for days Your biggest problem as a superhero: As with your normal life, people would continue to underestimate you |
Why wasn’t high school biology this relevant?
I’m eating some grapes at the moment. Exciting, isn’t it? Why am I blogging about this? Well, let me continue.
I’m eating grapes, reading email, doing office ‘stuff’, when, lo and behold, I come across this grape. Or is it "these grapes’?
I really think that these are three grapes that either grew together, or never got separated in the grape womb. So, what do I do? I grab the camera and take a picture.
Then I take an exacto knife and perform surgery.
Looks like three grapes joined in the middle, at least to my untrained eye. This is something that I would have called my Father about, ten years ago, before he passed away. He worked for the Department of Agriculture in Pennsylvania, and we would have talked about this. I wonder, with the "internet and all", if I ever would have gotten him to go online and check his email to tell me what the heck happened to this grape? Something to ponder.
Back to high school biology… if someone could have used this as something to dissect, I would have seen the relevance to my adult life. I mean, is it safe to eat this? Do I really want to eat this? The only time I’ve seen a frog since biology was when they were coming down like rain when I lived on Guam.
And no, I won’t be eating this grape. It gave its life for science. Rest in pieces, Mr. Red Grape from fresh & easy.
