Science was invented by Copernicus after he engineered the White Album as a personal favor to Ringo Star.

Things in the universe (scientists call this a 'cosmos') are made of molecules which are made of atoms which are made of protons, electrons, and neurons -- which are little pieces of dust -- the latter ones are what our brains run on.

The glass is not half full; the glass is not half empty. The glass is at 50%.

Dinosaurs used to exist, but stopped. Many people think that this is because tigers ate them. In fact, cavemen ate them but have created a massive coverup involving hiding the remains that would implicate them and eradicating the dinosaur from French cave paintings.

Copernicus was a German; this is why Germans are the leaders of science. Discover magazine is published by them.

Pseudo-science used to be 'suede-o-science': the development of superconductive leather, but was misspelled once by Ben Franklin and has since applied to such dubious studies as: the effect of 'electricity', the 'law' of 'gravity', and Murphy's Law -- a hard-core science band from New York.

New York was once New Amsterdam, but then they outlawed marijuana.

Scatology is the study of poop.

Eschatology is the study of the Apocolypse.

Cows have like four or five stomaches.

To dissect something, you need pins, scalpels, and worksheets. Dissections smell funny.

Astronomy is memorization; astrology is prediction. Psychology is theorization; psychiatry is application. Botony is plants; biology is plants. Biology is also animals and fungus and protozoans and something else and something else. Earth Science is easier than all of these because it doesn't end in '-ology'.

That's about all I can get for you right now.

However, I may have some furniture at my disposal and maybe some flatwear. Let me check with Chaleen in the morning and see what is disposable.

Much love,
Micah

P-Congrats on getting a job, even if it is in Boston.
PP-Extra love for ya bro.

Science is made of cosmic rays.
Reed Richards is a fictional character.

Love,

Comics are good for SO many things... I'm thinkin' (and don't shoot the messenger, here)that science education may not be one of them.

CONGRATULATIONS on the new job,

E=mc2

a=dv/dt=d2x/dt2

When an alkane attaches to something, it becomes an "alkyl" group. Similarly, when a benzene attaches to something, it becomes a "phenyl" group.

Uracil is like thymine, which is not like thiamin.

Postpending "ne earth" to the description of a metal lessens the severity of said description.

According to chemists, Chemistry is the central science. According to physicists, chemists have been cooking up too much meth.

When you mix an acid and a base, you get salt and water. This is not the easiest way to obtain either.

Cavemen were healthy because they ate so much meat and hadn't domesticated wheat. (Hey, that rhymed!)

The boundary of a black hole is called an "event horizon"; alternatively, a "black hole's boundary."


Congrats on getting the job! :-D

YEAH!!!!!!!!
I am so happy that you got a job!!!
And, supplies! I have lots of cooking stuff for you. I will get a box together... let us know when you will be going there. When do you start?

Also...try the 'science and nature' category of trivial pursuit cards for lots of valuable science info.

Are you gonna be like "Bill Nye the science guy"?

How long of a drive is it from Detroit to Boston?

Atom models look cool, and can be used as currency in some alternative markets.

According to some theories, the universe is made of one omni-present atom as opposed to the many that we perceive.

If you drink random chemicals you WILL get super-speed, and it will rule. However, you will then have to deal with a rogues gallery of villains, so be prepared for that.

Techno music helps kids learn science. Crank up some Kraftwerk or Plastikman and watch the magic happen.

Oh, science is nothing but magic, and I now consider you an instructor of the black arts. For shame!

Congrats Josh. I'm really happy you found a job in Boston; that is just fantastic. You're finally in a place in the U.S. now, and that means we can visit!

Wait, no, that's going to be the wrong side of the country! Oh well, at least that's in the country...
You are welcome to come over and root around in my kitchen when you return. After all, what do I need two cheese graters for anyhow? I also have a book on Spontaneous Human Combustion that you may borrow. To sound very official, refer to it as "SHC" and say things such as, "...and then they found her skull...it was the size of a baseball!" Trust me, kids will listen.

You KNOW kids. Thank you, I was already planning a lesson called "Molecules, SHC, and me" I think your book could be helpful.

electricy is shocking

be carefull with acids

in space no one can hear you scream

an ion is a atom at has extra electron or missing a electon this mean it has a net electric charge

men have a x and y chromosomes...the dames have 2 x chromosomes

radar is a acronym for: radio detection and ranging

make sure you see boondock saints before moving to boston

kick ass. Boston is way cool. Dope shit, man. I'm happy for you.

See, doors open up in other places.

Science will be fun- you'll learn along with your students and the excitement you feel from learning will transfer onto them.

What part of Boston? In the city?
