Concerning School...

I drew this and this during class. ...I mean what? No really, I was taking notes! Don't ask about the shower one. I really don't know. English class does weird things to my brain. And my brian.

Theeeen, one of the essay questions on our 3rd big Science test was to list some ways other than natural selection that evolution can occur. I wrote:
  • Genetic Drift (like the tidal wave that wiped out the nene birds in hawaii)
  • Aliens (from the planet Zok)
  • Magic (like in Lord of The Rings)
I think I got a couple points on that question. Out of like 5.

And theeeeeeen our weirdo new science teacher gave us an assignment where we had to either write a song, rap, poem, or make a game, which explained DNA/RNA transcription, translation, and replication. I wrote a parody of The Bends by Radiohead. My friend Greg thought I was a loony.

A parody of “The Bends” by Radiohead

DNA’s kind of weird
I’ve got a strand right here
And I’m wondering how, I can get two
I'll split my DNA
And copy both sides with pairs that look the same

It's replication

I'm splitting them once again, this time to make RNA
'Cause I'd be scared if I didn't have protein
My DNA's code it sends
And then the whole thing it mends
And I've got RNA with the same code

So when the DNA split again, with the code
The RNA was made right then, and it goes

And the Ribosome comes to the start codon
tRNA comes, and they're waiting for something to happen
Messenger's got buddies, and they're sittin' there all happy
But they wish, they wish, they wish that something would happen

Where do we go from here?
A tRNA is afloat, and it's coming near
So they'll continue
A peptide bond is made, between the amino acid things
And the tRNA, says bye bye

To his transfer friend
The Ribosome shifts again

Just sittin' on the strand with a new codon
And this is how it goes on up until they get to the end
This will make new proteins, that'll make me happy
I'd miss, I'd miss, I'd miss it if it didn't happen

So I can live, breathe
All so I can be part of the human race
So I can live, breathe
All so I can be part of the human race, race, race

So there is no need to fear
My proteins are made right here
I've shown you how: With my gene crew (271 words)

And now something that doesn't concern school:

I can't believe you write about things like that when you don't know the answer. Sure, I make up answers, but I try to make up answers that might yield some credit. ;)

I do if I can think of even an absurd possibility for an answer, but when I simply don't know, I entertain myself. ;)

(We had this question in Jazz class that was like, "explain the importance of *somebody* vs. *somebody*" and I didn't remember so I just wrote that it showed equality between blacks and whites or something like that. I found out afterwards that it actually was something that ATTEMPTED to show equality and failed miserably thus causing more years of racism, heh. So I was a little off on that one, lol. I think I got 1 point though. That's better than zero. ^_^

Brian I could never take notes like yours.... *sigh*

Cory, fix metnal. Please!!!

Father Cory said...

I need $70 to pay the bills XD So until I have that...Metnal's broked.

Dude thats aweful! I'm glad I don't have to pay for my blog.

Sir Brian The Manly said...

gwaugh! That's a lot! :sweat:

Father Cory said...

No no no, it's 6.55 a month, plus the domain transfer to the new host. It's about $70 for a full year for hosting. The last host I was with was ridiculous...came to near $140 with all the fees per year.

Sucks.

Sir Brian The Manly said...

omg

Sucks.
