This is the last blog for the quarter hurray!!
But i have no subject to blog about... I'll just open my mouth and see what happens..
(Commence ramble)
This quarter we had to blog about something we have read, in or out of class. Thus far I did all my blogs and am still up to date, speaking of up to date though, the computer I am typing on is a windows 2000. Its not really that old but what is interesting is that the word ‘blogs’ in the second sentence is underlined in red (meaning the computer thinks the word is misspelled). This is because blogs weren’t even invented all that long ago and we are already using them in school for grades. I think on a global perspective, so much has been invented even since 2000 that shapes our daily lives. Things like video games especially. The Nintendo DS would have been unimaginable in 1999, a touch screen and LCD screen linked in a handheld device. Another everyday device is a personal spy plane that is rather expensive but can be bought for personal use. Anyone with the money can fly around in it, speaking of flying, another invention that was key is the new paper-thin swim suits that propelled Michael Phelps to 8 gold medals this year. The suit is almost like fish scales in texture and is ridged specifically to make the swimmer go through the water with extremely low resistance. Yes, 2000 til now were some amazing years the future is equally bright. Plans for the 2009 release of a fourth Halo™ game makes this year look very good. See you next quarter!

Bob Lawblah *claps*
In chemistry we are writing a end of the quarter paper on water and what would happen if it didn’t hydrogen bond? (H-bond)
So I am going to use this space for things that it wouldn’t be necessary to add in the paper. To start I’ll copy/paste some key points in the story. But first for a little background, this is all a lead scientist telling you about this new planet discovered where the water doesn’t H-bond.
Ladies and gentleman I give you… Bob Lawblah… *claps*
“Along with the very high freezing point of this new H2O, it also seems to be very difficult to raise it to a boiling temperature. So the care package we sent on the ship with noodles is basically useless. Included in this care package was also an ice cube tray, drinking glasses, Japanese fighting fish (dead at this point), and a map of our earth (not as useful as you would think).
The drinking glasses and ice cube tray proved to be a big success. The inhabitants filled the glasses with water and the ice cubes when another observation was made. The ice cubes sank to the bottom of each glass, rather than float on top of the water. The molecules not being able to H-bond also caused this to happen. “
*claps*
That was beautifully put if I do say so myself. Another thing that I wanted to add in to the report was that the ocean would freeze on the bottom because of the changed polarity which means if it was cold enough, land masses could form from the ice building up from the bottom of the ocean.
