December 9, 2009 Reading Ch. 15 (Cenozoic History) Final Exam date: TU, Dec. 15 Material covered: Ch. 13, 14, 15, 16(?) + movie Firefighters rescue boy with tongue stuck to post BOISE, Idaho — It’s become an annual winter tale: A young boy gets his tongue stuck to a metal pole, perhaps as the result of a dare. This year, the scene straight out of the movie “A Christmas Story” unfolded Tuesday morning in Boise with a boy of about 10. Boise firefighters used a glass of warm water to free the unidentified boy from the metal fence pole, according to the Idaho Statesman newspaper. Fire Capt. Bill Tinsley says the boy’s tongue was bleeding a little, but he was OK and allowed to continue walking to school. Rescue workers responded after a woman driving by saw the boy and called police dispatchers. Last year, the unlucky boy was a 10-year-old from Hammond, Indiana — especially apt, since the 1983 movie is set in a fictional city based on Hammond.

December 9, 2009 BIG SPRING, Texas - A Texas homeowner, Barry McBee, who adorned his front lawn with Michelangelo's "David" as a scantily clad Santa got more than just jolly laughs from his neighbours. "I just like to shock people to make 'em laugh, kind of break the monotony around here," said McBee, who has all kinds of animal yard ornaments in his garage. "I just bring them out occasionally." McBee put his statue of Michelangelo's David in his front yard with only a Santa cap and beard, but neighbors and parents complained to town officials that their kids were asking why Santa was naked. McBee relented and put a pair of shorts on the replica of the famous statue.

Filmed in time-lapse, the extraordinary swarm of deep-sea creatures gathers to feed in a frenzy on the body of a seal, which had sunk to the ocean floor. Such a bounty of food may only occur once every ten years in the ice-cold waters of McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The images were taken by divers filming for the natural history series Life. The time-lapse sequence revealed the feeding frenzy of hundreds of huge worms, starfish, brittle stars and sea-urchins.

Under that blue tarp in a suburban driveway. That thing that’s the size of a Smart car? It’s Joel Waul’s rubber band ball. Waul has spent the last six years carefully wrapping and linking and stretching rubber bands of various sizes into the ball shape. The Guinness Book of World Records declared it the world’s largest rubber band ball in 2008. A team from Ripley’s Believe it or Not came to his house with a crane and hauled the 6-foot, 7-inch tall, 9,032-pound behemoth away on a large, flatbed truck. There have been a few casualties: at 400 pounds, it rolled over his hand and sprained it. It busted his big toe. Rubber bands breaking ripped two pairs of cargo pants and broke three pairs of sunglasses. The ball grew and grew. Neighborhood kids climbed on top of it. Dogs sniffed it.

November 11, 2009 Exam 3 Friday Ch. 8-12 NC school sells test points for $20 to raise money GOLDSBORO, N.C. -A middle school in North Carolina is selling test scores to students in a bid to raise money. The Raleigh newspaper reported Wednesday that a parent advisory council came up with the fundraising plan after last year's chocolate sale flopped.The school will sell 20 test points to students for $20. Students can add 10 extra points to each of two tests of their choice. The extra points could take a student from a "B" to an "A" on those tests or from a failing grade to a passing grade. Principal Susie Shepherd says it's not enough of an impact to change a student's overall grades. Officials at the state Department of Public Instruction say exchanging grades for money teaches children the wrong lessons.

November 16, 2009 Reading Ch. 13 YES, we will have class on FRIDAY Antarctic team to drill for 100-year-old scotch WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A beverage company has asked a team to drill through Antarctica's ice for a lost cache of some vintage Scotch whiskey that has been on the rocks since a century ago. The drillers will be trying to reach two crates of McKinlay and Co. whiskey that were shipped to the Antarctic by British polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton as part of his abandoned 1909 expedition. A sample of the 100-year-old scotch will undergo a series of tests that could decide whether to relaunch the now-defunct Scotch. "I really hope we can get some back here," the expedition leader was quoted as telling London's Telegraph newspaper. "It's been laying there lonely and neglected. It should come back to Scotland where it was born.

December 7, 2009 Reading Ch. 14 Final Exam date: TU, Dec. 15 Material covered: Ch. 13, 14, 15, 16(?) + movie Lab-Created Artificial Pork a Reality, Bacon Fans Ready for the Apocalypse Scientists in the Netherlands have created the world's first and only artificial pork. Scientists pulled out their meat from extracted pig cells called "myoblasts" that were incubated in nutrients, multiplied and formed into delicious fake bacon. What's next on their to-do list? Using those same pig cells to form artificial "Baconnaise" to glob on top of the artificial meat. But we're not quite there yet, folks. Scientists aren't sure how the meat tastes since they aren't allowed to eat their own experiments -- still, the new discovery has the potential to eradicate world hunger by eliminating the need for vast production, while also reducing American obesity by completely turning them off of meat altogether.
