Talking Science and winning badges

// February 26th, 2007 //

That’s the “talking science” badge from the Order of Science Scouts of Exemplary Repute and Above Average Physique. I also seem to qualify for the “dodger of monkey shit” badge (although not in the literal sense I am sure was intended – more of a metaphorical experience endured in the workplace) and the “experienced with electrical shock (Level III) badge.”

You see, as a young boy I once tried to wire a 4.5v DC portable AM radio to take current from a 220v AC plug. We were picking transistors out of the ceiling after that explosion, let me tell you!

The OSSERAAP is an idea of the Science Creative Quarterly out of UBC.

They’ve also taken a shot at gathering readers’ input to identify the Truth.

Please note that I did not go for the easy “Blazing Saddles” and/or “Treasure of the Sierra Madre” quote. You can keep your stinkin’ badges puns to your self, thankyouverymuch.

A special treat for you: Burton Gilliam, Lyle the cowboy from Blazing Saddles, advertises Ford Trucks (youTube).
