The school wouldn't let me use the chalk on the ground to draw a pentacle.

Oh, Canada...Arguably I have no more power than anyone else to give life to dead topics, though I can certainly give death to live topics. =DArtemis wrote:You're the mod, I would assume so.Sentynel wrote: Many topics which live deserve death... some which die deserve life, but can you give it to them?

Congratulations, Apollo.

I did this in Grade 7. I wrapped mine up in bubble wrap, tied some plastic bags together into the shape of a crude parachute, and naturally my egg survived. My teacher, however, said I had no creativity and gave me a D.Apollo wrote:So we convinced our teachers to let us do an egg drop before the year is over. The goal is to create some sort of contraption, mechanism, etc. that keeps our egg from splatting when we drop them from a third story window. Here are the regulations:
-No transport (RC helicoptor, etc).
-No on-ground defenses (matresses, shock aborbers, anything that would catch the egg. It has to fall with the egg).
-No chemical, combustible, or otherwise hazardous materials.
-No food (Besides the egg of course.Peanut butter, jello, marshmallows etc. are considered cheating).
-The thing can't be bigger than 18 inches by 18 inches. This doesn't apply to attached parachutes. However, if a parachute is in use, it cannot extend more than five inches in any direction of the thing.
-No animals.
I'm convinced that taking your opinions into account, fellow members, is not cheating.
So far I've come up with a block of matressy material with the egg concealed in a hollow at the center, surounded by a thin layer of silly putty/rubber.
Yeah, gods forbid you should use a simple but effective solution. It's gotta be loony and not work!rubberchickenben wrote:I did this in Grade 7.
