Science facts?


Just some funny stuff for your Saturday morning. These were written by kids on their science tests . I'm adding in a photo of your favorite science nerd as well--actually this might be one of those photos of your neighborhood pedophile. Pretty scary I think. Have a great weekend.
    Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure gin. Hydrogin is gin and water.

    When you breathe, you inspire. When you do not breathe, you expire.

    H20 is hot water, and CO2 is cold water.

    To collect fumes of sulphur, hold down a deacon over a flame in a test tube.

    When you smell an odourless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide.

    Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, vanes, and caterpillars.

    Blood flows down one leg and up the other.

    Respiration is composed of two acts, first inspiration, and then expectoration.

    The moon is a planet just like the earth, only it is even deader.

    Artificial insemination is when the farmer does it to the cow instead of the bull.

    Dew is formed on leaves when the sun shines down on them and makes them perspire.

    A super-saturated solution is one that holds more than it can hold.

    Mushrooms always grow in damp places and so they look like umbrellas.

    Momentum: What you give a person when they are going away.

    Planet: A body of earth surrounded by sky.

    Rhubarb: a kind of celery gone bloodshot.

    Vacuum: A large, empty space where the pope lives.

    Before giving a blood transfusion, find out if the blood is affirmative or negative.

    For a nosebleed: put the nose much lower than the body until the heart stops.

    For drowning: climb on top of the person and move up and down to make Artificial Perspiration.

    For Fainting: Rub the person's chest or, if a lady, rub her arm above the hand instead. Or put the head between the knees of the nearest medical doctor.

    The alimentary canal is located in the northern part of Indiana.

    The skeleton is what is left after the insides have been taken out and the outsides have been taken off. The purpose of the skeleton is something to hitch meat to.

    The tides are a fight between the Earth and Moon. All water tends towards the moon, because there is no water in the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight.

    A fossil is an extinct animal. The older it is, the more extinct it is.

    Germinate: To become a naturalized German.
