Science!

Monday. Well that says it all now doesn't it.

Started the day in Philosophy, where we are discussing the philosophy of science. Hence I've actually have been waking up for the class as I have to defend science against the mob. There is a person in my class who has been arguing that science is illegitimate because its just a book written by a few guys thousands of years ago which we blindly follow. You really can't make that kind of shit up. I want to read this Book of Science, might need some peer review.

So as tends to happen in these classes, we had to go over how the scientific method works. So the teacher drew a dead flower in a pot and asked us to come up with a hypothesis for why it died and an experiment to verify it.

Science!
He actually encouraged us to come up with ridiculous answers. Here is a list of my responses.

Hypothesis: The plant exists in a house with small children who honestly thought they were being helpful when they peed on the plant.

Test: See if the soil smells like urine.


Hypothesis: The plant exists in a house with inebriated adults who honestly thought they were being helpful when they peed on the plant.

Test: Similar.


Hypothesis: The plant was suffering from extreme loneliness in solitary confinement after it was torn from it's home land, thrown into it's cold lifeless terra cotta cell to live its life for the entertainment of its captures. After years of this mental anguish, the plant decided to exit early.

Test: Check for a note.


Hypothesis: You know the movie Weekend at Bernies. The events were very similar to the 1989 film Weekend at Bernies.

Test: Watch surveillance footage while simultaneously viewing the 1989 comedy classic Weekend at Bernies. Note similarities in your copy books.

Science!

Anyway, have a good week Gents.
