Dear Master of Science,
Why is the sky blue? I’m six years old.
-Curious
Dear Curious,
That’s a great question. It’s one of those first questions that we ask at an early age. It signifies the eternal and natural curiosity of humans everywhere. For me, being so good at science, I figured out the answer when I was seven and I’ve never looked back or up. The sky is blue because most of the Earth is covered in water. Most of you is composed of water. All that water reflects off the atmosphere and back into the back of your eyeballs. Hence, the sky is blue because water is blue. So, next time you look at the sky, see if you can see any ships! Just kidding, you can’t because they’re too small!
Dear Master of Science,
Why do girls go to bathrooms in groups and talk so much?
-Annoyed
Dear Annoyed,
Ahh yes, the “females” of the species. They’re quite the “specimen.” The answer, my friend, lies with evolution. See, back when people weren’t people, but animals, males and females “evolved” differently. Women needed to talk a lot because they were always hunting for berries.
Proto Female 1: “Hey, have you seen any berries?”
Proto Female 2: “Nope. Let’s talk some more about that.”
Proto Female 1: “Okay.”
And men were the opposite because they had to be silent when stalking the Wooly Mammoth or Brontosaurus. Not much conversational material there anyway. Add a dash of survivalness of the fittestness and you’ve got women heading to the ladies’ room in herds and men playing video games in silence, oblivious to all external stimuli. And that is how nature intended it to be.
Dear Science Master,
I’m having trouble in Chemistry. It’s really hard to do, any suggestions?
-Know No Mole
Dear Mole Man,
Your problem is that you’re not having FUN with science! Rub your head on a balloon. Mix baking soda with vinegar. Magnetize something, anything! If you have fun with it, then you’ll like it. Then you’ll learn more. Trust me!
Dear Master Science,
Do you believe in Intelligent Design? I’m not sure what to think. Help!
-Confused
Dear Confused,
Intelligent Design, hmm, never heard of it. I imagine Intelligent Design has something to do with Ergonomic Design, like maybe the web 2.0 of Ergonomic Design. Maybe some of my more geeky readers out there can dig through some stuffy old books and confirm this. Thanks geeky readers! Don’t go getting social lives on me now!
