The Most Unique Science Fair Project
Don neglected to mention the best science fair project that Dave and I ever got away with: The Lego Roller Coaster. We were in different sections of Mr. Toler's physics class and while Don was spending lots of time and money on building a shopping cart with Jeff and Nick, Dave and I took some heavy gauge wire and bent it until it resembled the worst designed roller coaster track ever. Riding down the track was a keychain ring with a little lego seat and person. The stand for the whole thing was the back of a poster that Sarah had used for her fourth grade science fair project earlier that year. Dave and I spent more time drawing a lake and grass on the poster than all of the alleged science that we were supposed to have done. I think we were trying to show something about kinetic versus potential energy but we ended up showing that in high school we could get away with just about anything. And who could forget the time we tested the strength of guitar strings by hanging a bucket full of rocks from them. You know it's good science when your unit of measurement for weight is rocks. If I remember correctly we tested about four strings before we decided to just make up the rest of our results.
Don, Kelly said you're stealing her idea of paying my parents back once you strike it rich. Just wanted them to know who to really thank once you have your windfall. Don's right though Dave, we wish you could have been there. We'll be down to visit sometime soon (September maybe if you're not too busy?) and wax nostalgic about Carlos trying to devour his shoulder.
