- result in months of messy resentment over the needless complexity and pointlessness of the project or
- inspire our son to become a brain surgeon, rocket scientist or physics professor.
It's always been #1, but who's counting?
I started thinking about some scientific inquiries that are just driving me crazy, and well, why the hell not see if I can make this whole thing work for me? Here's a short list of science projects that would benefit humanity--I mean sanity, my sanity:
- What kills a plant the fastest, living at Gropius' home or living at Gropius' office? And part B of that...Why, as a super environmentalist, do I always manage to kill my plants by over or under watering?
- What is more annoying: having someone show up in your office without an appointment to engage in endless dialogue about an issue you can neither help with or understand, right when you are in the middle of a major deadline OR accidentally getting in the grocery store check line with the person who makes comments about your groceries?
- What infinitesimal amount of sunlight is required to form one of the new 5,456 freckles that emerge each summer on my skin?
- What contributes to the greatest gain in mass: one trip to Pablano's Mexican Restaurant or eating cupcakes everyday for a week?
Am I missing any good ones?

The cashier that comments on all of your purchases is the most annoying.
Some science project suggestions:
1. Which mold is grosser? The one that grows on the leftover food in your refrigerator or the fuzz in the shower that clings to the grout like a goopy caterpillar?
2. How much shock therapy does it take to make your boss less of an asshole? Oops, how much does it take to kill said boss?
3. Which makes your hard earned paycheck disappear faster? Grocery shopping or take out food? Is there a correlation between the amount of money you spend on food and the fat growing around your middle?
