Oh my - these pictures are just too cute....

Science Geeks are the coolest!

Photobasement posted a slew of Science Fair photos last week, and it got me slipping down the k-hole of my past, thinking about those days as a budding science nerd. And so, after much googling and image searching, I pulled together even more photos. Some are funny, and some are just darn cute!

And so, a slew of Science Fair photos (including some of my faves from the Photobasement post) after the jump!

I can't decide which exhibit is the cutest. The "Eww! It's All Over Us!", or maybe the "Foot Fetish" one (wtf is that about - can't read any more) or maybe "Garlic: The Silent Killer!"

eta: And "The Ideal Pancreas: Part 2" makes me wonder what Part 1 was like....

Timelies all!

Didn't watch the Oscars, as I hadn't seen any of the nominated films. (Actually, I think I saw two films last year in the theater.)

All I could think about last night when Zellweger was on stage was: "One day she is going to wake up and be Dianne Weist."

They both have the "Lady-of-the-perpetually-sucked-lemon" thing going on.

I can't decide which exhibit is the cutest.

I love the "Drop It Like It's Hot" kid! hee!

Oh my god, one of the pictures has a display scheme exactly like one I used in high school and it freaked me out! (blue and neon green) But it wasn't mine. And man, I'd totally forgotten about it until just now.

I love the "Drop It Like It's Hot" kid! hee!

Me too! Those are great.

Oh, and you gotta respect the kid who did "Can You Turn a Glass of Water Upside Down Without Spilling? Yes" Looks like it took five minutes to do. Plus you can still see marker stains on his hand! [link]

Gummy Bear in molten potassium chlorate (video)

Quite a violent reaction, with flames and large amounts of carbon dioxide, steam, etc. being released. Apparently there's a lot of energy contained in a Gummi Bear....

So I sent an "I'm going to be out sick" email at around 4:30. Since then, have been procrastinating calling the guy because a) I hate personal contact and b) I'm not reeeeeallly sick, am I, I could probably go in tomorrow after all/no I couldn't/yes I could/don't I deserve a sick day/but I'm not really sick so I'll feel bad/but will I really feel so much better if I go in?/you'll feel more virtuous/more virtuous? will I really?/...no. So I finally called, and he said that he'd already got me covered. Dude, then REPLY TO MY EMAIL.
