- I won something! July 8, 2018It had been a little while since I actually won an award, though I’ve been nominated a few times. This time, kids did the voting!

If those questions were actually proving a point, are they really stupid?
“What was Albert Einstein’s first name?” WIN
Blue.
Albert.
Because island.
Noone.
Before.
Probably not.
Actually, air’s completely seethrough.
Oh, and I’m pretty sure the other answers are “Bruce,” “because Hawaii is in space,” “C. S. Fortester,” “simultaneously,” and “yes, but only in Asia.”
I agree with this.
Air isn’t remotely completely seethrough… it’s just that we only have receptors for wavelengths that pass through it readily, because others would be kind of useless.
Actually it’s because air is too thin. As are most gasses. You can compare this to liquids. Water appears sea through, but when it is in a large mass like the ocean you can see its blue hue. Air also has colour, you just need enough of it. Fog is white, but at a short distance it is see through, same reason. Get rekt you scrublord.
Wrong! Gravity was invented by Sir Issac Newton. And to think he did it on the spot under an apple tree.
Actually, Sir Issac Newton didn’t and couldn’t have “invented” gravity- he discovered its effects.

Theres a reason every panel with Millie asking a stupid question has a clock in the background. That class runs pretty long.
I’m going to freeze potato salad tonight just to find out what it will do.
I expect that it depends on what kind of potato salad. If with mayonnaise: well, we’re told not to freeze mayonnaise but I don’t know what happens to it when it thaws, but should the egg part separate back from the oil, that would be pretty drastic! Freezing one made instead with vinaigrette should be OK, though the thawed potatoes might lack crunch.
Ms. Sorkowitz is smart to say that there is no stupid question…if you shoot down every stupid question, soon you don’t get any stupid questions.
But you don’t get any smart ones, either.
I have one more, You stink
