Chem test bummed me out. It was an easy test! That's what bugs me. I just skipped two problems because I couldnt finish, and there goes like 10 points down the drain! Augh. Oh well. I think this was the easiest test this year. -.- DANGIT.
Chemistry lecture today was pretty interesting. We were talking about nuclear.. not NUCULAR -ahem- BUSH. How in the 1970's we had a fruit fly infestation in California, and they were killing all of our crop. So, there were two options...To blast the crops with gamma rays or to spray poison on it.. The ignorant citizens of CA said, "Say WHAT?? GAMMA RAYS?? HECK NO MAN. I AINT EATIN THINGS THAT BEEN RADIATED!"
So, we resorted to using poison. The sucky thing is, later on they found that the poison sprayed on the crops caused cancer...GOOD GAME. Haha. Gamma rays are so freaking cool. If you blast for example, bread in a plastic bag with gamma rays, the bread will last as LONG as you keep the bag sealed.. MAN! thats long!! Unlike regular bread that will mold in a couple weeks. Amazing. He even told us about t.v. dinners that didnt even need to be frozen, because the gamma rays kept the food from spoiling.. because spores and bacteria were killed by the gamma rays, and new spores and bacteria could not enter through because it was protected. So, as long as the seal wasnt broken the food could last...basically forever. The wonders of nuclear science. ^^
