Science Fair Judges Sought

might vote laser wars

I helped judge a science fair last year & if you get the chance to do so, I highly recommend it. It is so much fun to see all these wiggly, nervous, excited kids explain their stuff. "So? my dad? likes to make barbecue? so I thought I'd do my experiment? on which acid breaks down meat the fastest?"

Think I'm torn between animal magnetism, drop it like it's hot and plants and pop.

Also, electro worms.

I went with "What Is My Dog's Favorite Color?".

wld rly like to know what the Code of the Meniscus is about!

I'd like to vote in an uncruel manner, but Animal Magnetism keeps drawing me back.

"help" is just so simple and powerful!

would love to judge a real science fair.

Electro Worms kid looks like he is having some intense feelings.

I am a little worried that if I don't vote for Plants and Pop kid he will hunt me down and kill me.

can we talk about science projects we did?

one year i did a comparative analysis of various household substances (sugar, baking soda, salt) on the growth rate of potted marigolds, that one was pretty good. better than the one where i used a wooden mouse maze to test whether or not a cheese incentive compels a mouse to move through a wooden mouse maze quicker than without, which was at least a crowd pleaser cause i got to bring my mouse to school. other science projects i can recall include a study of the relationship between mass and aerodynamics which involved throwing various objects (at a "consistent" velocity that i controlled by concentrating on it), and magnetizing guitar strings to see if it changes the pitch (it doesn't).

anyway, JUICY BEANS

Do Video Games Affect You?

hahaha this reminded me of one that I did in jr. high w/ my friend

we were trying to test if people scored higher or lower on tests after playing computer games for an hour

our friends didn't really want to take the tests tho, so we just made up all the data

lol what were your findings

I think we decided to go w/ "they score slightly worse on the tests"

At the science fair last March there was this one kid who won showers of awards with some amazing project about wind energy. The great thing was is he had fangirls! Like all the junior high chicks were just in awe of him, and would follow him around giggling, and would report with screams to eacfh other if he said anything to them. One girl was explaining to me, "HE is just SO AMAZING. He could submit his project to like ANIMAL SCIENCE and still get all the awards because he is THAT AMAZING," blush giggle blush.

as a small geeky Britisher I would wish we had Science Fairs. Instead the first time I had to design a science experiment was in chemistry class aged 17. I'm guessing that fun would've been discouraged. :'( (I electroplated some aluminium with copper!)

This same girl won a mouse skeleton from the biology department for her experiment about whether mice liked heavy metal or not, M3t4l Mic3 (googleproofed)(apparently they do). She was so stoked! It was kind of the perfect award for her project.

juicy beans

can't you just make a mouse skeleton at home? all you need is a mouse

all you need is a mouse, no food, and time

A student named David Merrill subjected mice to the music of a heavy metal band called Anthrax 24-hours a day to discover how it would affect their ability to learn new things, but instead of completing Merrill’s maze, the heavy metal mice all killed one another.

o wau.

24-hours a day? wouldn't that kinda fuck you up no matter what the music was?

Mr. Merrill has been working for CIA as a consultant since graduation.

Guest :
rock music is bad for animals but not humans. It acually is very good for you and it is very good to listen to . some bands like rage against the machines teach you important lessons in your life the government and its power. Bands like system of a down made a new song on the war of iraq called "boom" it is very educational and tells people to stop the war on terror. Also, rock music just lets your body and soul go and its like your meditating.

Does every article on that website read like satire?

Crystal Meth. Friend or foe?

The Golden Girls: How One TV Show Turned A Generation Of American Boys Into Homosexuals

loving the james brown pic on "will there be minorities in heaven?"

also I'm pretty sure "me say creation how about you" is actually "some say creation how about you"

this guy

There are a lot of "this guy"s in that group.

my favorite is the crystal meth one - such dark implications in that picture

also I'm pretty sure "me say creation how about you" is actually "some say creation how about you"

OMG! I just assumed it was "some say creation how about you" but "me say creation how about you" just made me spit out my coffee! Thanx crut (sorta)! :)

Question: what exactly is photoshopped in the DTs pic?

Some of these look brilliant. Others I can't even wrap my head around. Foot fetish??

Y'all did notice the pic of Charmin in The Right Wipe, right?

Hands down winner: Plants and Pop! (Not a Stevie Wonder experiment)

Thanx ice cr?m!!!

Question: what exactly is photoshopped in the DTs pic?

Booze bottles, pic of Mel Gibson, the title of project.

Crystal Meth one is great. Finally someone answers the big questions.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
