In honor of [livejournal.com profile] mermil:

You are what you eat, from your head down to your feet - things like meat and eggs and fish, you know they build up muscle tissue. Uh oh! Appetite Control, more protein! Playing tennis today, you know... whoops!

All these motors in your body need a lot of fuel to go on! Like carbohydrates, fats and proteins, vitamins and so on! What's left over form the building blocks you need, indeed, to grow on.

Yes you are what you swallow, so the next time you feel hollow, don't just fill your face with any old kind of treat! This goes for every kid, or six foot ath-a-lete, all you really are is what you eat. Yahoo!


(I hanker fer a hunk-a, a slab, a slice, a chunk-a, a snack that is a winner, and yet won't spoil mah dinner. I hanker fer a hunk-a cheese!)

Dude, the Come Back Can really WORKED.

As a child that was obsessed with MacGuyver and Mr. Wizard, I immediately tried to make the can.

You took a coffee can and then you took a couple of washers and strung them on a rubber band. Then you stretched the rubber band through holes in the top and bottom of the can, and secured the band with toothpicks. When you rolled the can, gravity pulling on the washers made the rubber band twist up... which would mean it would have to UNtwist, which would send the can back!

I was such a tard as a child.

Wow.

I'm impressed.

I loved Mr. Wizard and MacGuyver as well, but I never felt driven enough to play with the experiments shown. Although, I think I performed the Mr. Wizard trick involving vinegar, baking soda, a bottle, and a balloon for an elementary school science fair project.

"Come Back Here" was a mystery to me.

I was the nerdiest child ever.

My friend Scott and I made an entire series of experiments involving baking soda and vinegar, and combining them with other household substances (like mollasses, or soda water, etc.). I never tried to make a volcano but I always wanted to.

I am going to shut up now before you all realize that I was a l0ser.

The volcano!!!
