Science olympiad yesterday was awesome.
The anecdote I would like to share with you today is about the boys who had to the "Polymer Detective" or something along the line of that.
They had to write the history of polymers. Unfortunately, they didn't know exactly what a polymer was. Their story went something like this.
"Four score and seven years ago, Mr. Poly Mer was walking along the beach when he tripped on some plastic. He named it polymer, but didn't yet realize it's use until the Iraqis bombed Pearl harbor and we entered the Vietnam War. Mr. Mer became the dictator of the world until Mr. Du and Mrs. Pont merged to form Du Pont and sold polymers to the world. Polymers have saved us from nuclear holocaust, and a world made out of metal.
Remember folks, Plastics make it happen."
