H2O: Dangerous Chemical!

Ponderings

A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical “dihydrogen monoxide.”

And for plenty of good reasons, since:

  • it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
  • it is a major component in acid rain
  • it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
  • accidental inhalation can kill you
  • it contributes to erosion
  • it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
  • it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients
  • He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical.

Forty-three (43) said yes, six (6) were undecided, and only one (1) knew that the chemical was water.

The title of his prize winning project was, “How Gullible Are We?”

He feels the conclusion is obvious.

Funny, Media, Video

This is so creative! At first I was totally confused at how he was walking like that, but once I realized that the whole room was tilted, I as even more impressed. Getting everything to appear straight when everything is probably tilted at 30 to 45 degrees could not have been easy. Those books, the painting, etc… pretty cool stuff.

Cooking time!

Recipes

So I thought I would help out my mom and cook dinner for my family the other day. The following is a little recap (mainly of the fries).

Ingredients:

Fries

  • potatoes
  • canola oil
  • pepper
  • salt
  • grill seasoning

Sandwich
Salad

Directions:

So you start with some potatoes. Clean them up. Then slice them any size you want. The bigger they are, the softer they come out and the thinner they are, the more crispy they are. Put the slices in a bag. Pour in about 3/4 cup of your fav cooking oil (I used canola) and then add your spices (I used a whole variety, McCormick grilling stuff, pepper, salt, and others from our spice cabinet. Then mush the bag around to spread it. Lay them all out on a pan and bake them at 400 degrees for about 40 min (to get them crispy). Add salad to the meal to make it more healthy. Put chips and salsa out for when the fam is waiting for their sandwich order to be ready. Get out the spread of sandwich makings. Take out the home cooked french fries when the desired crispiness has been reached. Get a sandwich ready to go on the grill. And voila! The fries are all ready to go and you’ve got yourself a delicious dinner. And that’s a wrap on the making a meal for my family! I hope you enjoyed it :D

First Post

Creation

Hello world! This is my first post in my first blog. This is not only going to be a great interesting blog, it is, as it says somewhat of a portal into my life. As of right now I am creating this website maily for family and friends. A place to share. I will try to keep this up to date with art, photos and games. The games are also for me to tell the truth. I got tired of all of the adds, so I thought that I would help.
