Weird Science Friday REDUX

This was supposed to be Weird Science and Classic Science Friday.  Now it is still weird science and classic science Friday, it’s just redux.  This is because I lost the whole post due to problems switching between computers, and now I have to rewrite the whole thing.  Furthermore, the other computer that I’m currently stuck on cannot run Picasa, so we’re stuck without pictures as well.  It’s ghetto-fabulous. 

Also, as a note, and as some of you may be able to tell due to my sharp decrease in technology, I am headed out of the country to the great Beyond (as in, beyond my computer, who knows if I will make it back alive!!) for the next ten days.  We all need a science vacation, yes? 

And so here it goes:  Weird Science: REDUX
