One for Friday: A Speedbump
As opposed to last week’s digression, this week I’m plainly having technical difficulties. So, in lieu of fresh content, I’ll sheepishly direct you to the spot on the Interweb where I was able to meet my weekly Friday obligation. Continue reading One for Friday: A Speedbump

The device he’s utilizing to get measurements from his vine-ripened friend is called a Hubbard Electrometer. He apparently used it to determine that … Continue reading How it happened I don’t know, must have been the Miracle-Gro
