Children of the Future...
This is a list of comments from test papers, essays, etc., submitted
to science and health teachers by elementary, junior high, high
school, and college students: It is truly astonishing what weird
science our young scholars can create under the pressures of time and
grades. The spellings are the original ones.
1. H2O is hot water, and CO2 is cold water.
2. To collect fumes of sulphur, hold a deacon over a flame in a test
tube.
3. When you smell an oderless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide.
4. Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure
gin. Hydrogin is water and gin.
5. A super saturated solution is one that holds more than it can hold.
6. Liter: A nest of young puppies.
7. Magnet: Something you find crawling all over a dead cat.
8. Momentum: What you give a person when they are going away.
9. Vacuum: A large, empty space where the pope lives.
10. Artificial insemination is when the farmer does it to the cow
instead of the bull.
11. The pistol of the flower is its only protection against insects.
12. A fossil is an extinct animal. The older it is, the more extinct
it is.
13. To remove dust from the eye, pull the eye down over the nose.
14. For a nosebleed: Put the nose much lower that the heart until the
heart stops.
15. For head colds: use an agonizer to spray the nose until it drops
in your throat.
16. Germinate: To become a naturalized German.
17. The tides are a fight between the Earth and moon. All water tends
towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature
abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight.
18. Blood flows down one leg and up the the other.
