Science Corner
So I've been pondering starting a new section of my blog... It would be called Science Corner and would be basically me as Bill Nye the Science Guy. (I would so love to do something like that... But I'm just not funny enough!)
The whole idea would be for me to spend some time explaining a tiny part about how the world works. It could be anything from why ice floats to why we need to eat to how the Internet really works. There's so much that is rattling around in my brain about all this stuff and the honest truth is thay I love explaining it to folks. Sometimes I actually get to explain things to people bit usualy it's just my own mind talking to myself... And that doesn't really help anyone :)
So this means that I'm accepting requests for discussion topics. If nobody responds (which nobody does anymore, tear) then I'll come up with something but then it might end up being something which is interesting only to me. Really, I'll take any question on any science or technology subject.
In the meantime, look forward to Science Corner, coming soon!

I’d like an explanation of:
What happens to an onion (chemically) when you heat it up? How about if you heat it up in the presence of fat (butter, oil)?
Why do outhouses have a half-moon on their door?
What is the maximum power (ergs) a person can generate using muscles? How does that compare to, say, a lawn mower?
That should do it for now for me.

Why is your dad so weird? Sorry, I guess that's a question for the Social Science Corner ...
I'm all ears - I'm sure the topics you have in store are much more interesting than any I can conceive of!
Don't worry about being funny - judging by your recipes the passion you convey is delightful in itself.
Expound away!

Hey - I would read them - maybe even comment once in a while.

Oh my gosh, Bill Nye the Science Guy! It's been so long! I loved that show. (Now that I think about it, maybe that's one of the reasons why so many people have labeled me as a nerd...) I'd definitely be up for some of that action. :-P
