Science Humor
DURING my freshman biology class at North High School in Springfield, Ohio, our teacher was lecturing on the conditions in which bacteria exist. Elaborating on the acidic environment where certain bacteria thrive, he suggested a simple experiment. "I want you to drop a nail into a glass of Coke or Pepsi, and then observe the acidic reaction on the nail," he said. The girl sitting next to me raised her hand and asked in all seriousness, "Do you mean a real nail, or a press-on?" --Contributed to "Tales Out of School" by Carolyn Stickney |

Muskingum's ACM Chapter Participates in Programming Contest
The ACM Chapter sent two teams of three people each to the programming contest at Denison University this past Saturday. Team Positron, which included Chris Bowles, Sarah Hair, and Anastacia Garland, made it to fifth place out of sixteen teams. Each team was given six problems to solve in a four-hour period, ranging from relatively easy to fiendishly difficult. The first place team solved only four of the problems, while Team Positron solved three of them.
Congratulations, Team Positron!
