Many years ago I was a substitute teacher for the PF Academy for Incorrigible Youths. On my first day teaching I was pulled aside by the principal who told me a little bit about the kids in my class. “You have a rotten bunch of kids to look after, I feel sorry for you. These are the bottom of...

As we all know, some of the kids on these boards have complained about there not being enough information out there for kids who want to learn cutting-edge physics without having to first learn the requisite math. Well, the other day it occurred to me that there actually are newly released...

So, I'm in the grocery store one day, and a precious, little six year old girl asked her useless, dreadlocked, most-likely-unemployed father if they can reinact a science experiment she saw on television. He asks, "Is this for school?" She says, "no." He literally says, "Then NO! You...
