Howdy y'all! Still hangin' on to your New Year's resolutions, are ya? Wonderful! Pour yourself a mug of java juice and load a calorie-free virtual treat or two onto your plate, why don't'cha? Yee haw! I've got some news here that ought to set science education back a number of years and prompts a question as to who bears the responsibility... Listen up y'all!
(1) A 35 ton tractor-trailer driver with a load of bottled water tried to make
it over a historic bridge in Paoli, Indiana, on Christmas Day, with the
obvious outcome when it started across a limit-6-tons
span. The driver told police she saw the 6-ton sign but did not know how
that "translated" to pounds.
(2) Among the activists denouncing a proposed solar-panel farm at a December Woodland (North Carolina) Town Council meeting were a husband and wife certain that vegetation near the panels would die because the panels would (the husband said) "suck up all the energy from the sun."
His wife (described as a "retired science teacher") explained that the solar panels prevent "photosynthesis" (and also, of course, cause cancer). The council voted a moratorium on the panels. [WDRB-TV (Louisville, Ky.), 12-25-2015] [Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald, 12-8-2015]
Thank goodness for education, huh? Now where'd I put my grade 5 science reader?
See y'all, eh!
