You better recognize this.

Mr. Wizard's World of sciency type thingys (aka oh shit it took me 3 years to write this)

Full Disclosure:  I'm a theatre major.  Sometimes I watch Cosmos and I feel very smart.  Most of the time I wander through life wondering how I got from A to B, not too concerned about the how and the why of shit.  But you have to have a little bit of science in your back pocket so as to not believe in creationism and ghosts and stuff, and I have Mr. Wizard to thank for my lil' pocket full of science.

 

Ohhhhh snap!  Let that top hat birth a magnet to pull a shopping cart full of science into your brain!  Mr. Wizard was like if Mr. Rogers knew how to do something useful with himself - he was all like "Hey, young children!  Come into my house and learn science things!" Which, due to the science, wasn't creepy at all.  It was totes educational. 

 

Mr. Wizard, aka Don Herbert, aka geek master D - first started his molding of young minds back in 1951.  The original show was so successful it won a Peabody award, and had 2 revivals after taking a few years off.  Then it was on nickelodeon FOREVER. 

 

Wanna make a rubber ball rocket? Do ya?

 

 

Well now you know how.

 

What the hell is osmosis anyway?

 

 

Ohhhhhhhhh snap!  I thought it was like hypnosis but way less fun.

 

My work computer hates blogger, so this is a short post to end another 3 year absence, but anywho...there it is.

 

SCIENCE, FOOLS.
