I might've enjoyed science if we had had that. More often, we had "unscheduled explosion day."

The most exciting thing that ever happened in my science class was the day the teacher accidentally wore one red shoe and one blue one.

Devices capable of launching projectiles using compressed air? They're already in trouble.

Homeskoolers learnin' how to make moonshine, on the other hand, is just good old Murkin freedumb.

Teabaggers would defend Pappy McCornlikker, at the same time they were howling about the corrupting influence of a science teacher who taught the same thing.

Preposterously bogus suspension of the teachers union representative . . . this will not end well for the asshole administrator who thought it would be a clever move.

Sort of like the GW Bridge lane closing stunt . . . we need a term of art for political maneuvers so incredibly stupid that even a 10-year-old could see the consequences.

I used to arrive at school each morning with a couple of Bic pens in my pocket.

Do you know <a href="http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/\?Martial-Arts-Training---Using-a-Pen-For-Self-Defense&amp\;id=3661599" target="_blank">what someone can do with a Bic pen?</a>

Because you were a Responsible Gun Owner҄  right?

Especially absurd in light of the fact that you can easily <a href="http:\/\/www.thinkgeek.com\/product\/a673\/" target="_blank">purchase one online.</a>

(*Daddy, what's a film canister?)

(** Technically, these might be better described as toy (dummy) CO҂‚ spigot mortars.)

Or simply vinegar and baking soda.

Well, it <i>is</i> the universal solvent.

Prolonged application has been known to cause temporary skin puckering.

On the plus side, in recent years we have seen a blossoming of interest in inorganic chemistry here in the US. In particular there has been intense interest in the process whereby complex inorganic compounds are synthesized in the laboratory. Interest is so keen that people are setting up labs in their own homes (and RVs...).

Yeah! <i><b>Science,</b></i> bitch!

As a biology teacher, he should have stuck to teaching those kids about the flammable nature of methane - how to light their farts on fire.
