GED Science: Greenhouse FX!

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Hey dudes, it’s jacket time! Seriously, it’s cold out there!!! Sometimes I have to wear a thermal under shirt, two t-shirts, a small sweatshirt, a giant sweatshirt, AND a jacket when I got outside! Then I’m nice and toasty! It doesn’t snow where I live, but sometimes I go up to the mountains and snowboard! I’ve got serious snowboarding skillz! I do flips and jump off trees and buildings and even people! …ok, well I run into trees and buildings and people. But other than carving ice, there’s not much to do when it’s cold but FREEZE! I like the summer way better.

However, if it weren’t for the greenhouse effect, we’d all be ice statues! Check it out!!

GED Science: Crazy Clones!?

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Dudes, I delivered pizza to this creepy government experiment family the other day. They were all wearin’ white shirts and jeans, and all of them had short brown hair. Like they were a bunch of clones! I was sweatin’ so hard by the time they paid me, I just knew they were gonna suck me into their clone vortex and spit me out to be just like one of them. No way, dude, I’d never wear a white shirt. I’d get pizza stains all over it in an instant! Man, all my shirts are serious tomato sauce magnets. Hey, I wonder if my shirts have been secretly altered by the government too… I think it’s time to buy some new shirts! (Maybe the ones with, like, cool fire designs all across the chest, so you wouldn’t even notice all the pizza stains!)

So, today’s GED Science problem has to do with creepy clones! Ok, so maybe not clones, but families that look alike.

Which of the following would provide the best evidence of a blood relation?

1.) The two people look alike.

2.) Matching fingerprints

3.) Similar interests

4.) Legal documentation stating a blood relation

5.) DNA analysis (more…)
