THIRTY EXPERIMENTS IN THIRTY DAYS
Two scientists are talking.
SCIENTIST 1
So we've been doing National Science Experiment Month.
SCIENTIST 2
Yup. Last day.
SCIENTIST 1
Yeah. Have you liked it? Get anything good?
SCIENTIST 2
They're not great. But I definitely would not have performed
as many experiments without it.
SCIENTIST 1
Yes, I feel the same way. It's funny how structure motivates
me. The main reason I used to take Science Experiment Class was for the weekly
experiment deadline.
SCIENTIST 2
Yes, me too. So did YOU like any experiments you did?
SCIENTIST 1
I did a throwaway one about whether saccharine causes cancer
but I ended up really liking the tests to "prove" it.
SCIENTIST 2
Yes, I've had that happen. I might end up re-doing this one I
did about gravity being equal electricity, but like -- do it right, sort of.
SCIENTIST 1
Sure. I've been reading your experiments on line. I liked
that one about water molecules being able to fuel cars.
SCIENTIST 2
You did? I literally did not know the hypothesis until I was
almost done with the experiment!
SCIENTIST 1
Hilarious.
SCIENTIST 2
Yeah. What's the worst one you did?
SCIENTIST 1
I proved the sun existed.
SCIENTIST 2
Oh, yeah. Everyone's done that.
SCIENTIST 1
I was in a hurry.
SCIENTIST 2
That's part of it.
SCIENTIST 1
Well anyway I'm glad we did it. What was your biggest victory?
SCIENTIST 2
That I didn't do any experiments inspired by all these
vampire shows.
SCIENTIST 1
You did, though.
SCIENTIST 2
Oh shit, that's right.
SCIENTIST 1 takes a bite of a sandwich. SCIENTIST 2 scratches
his nose.
SCIENTIST 1
I gotta get back to my day job now.
