I wasn't aware that dropping eggs was a school subject now. School is so interesting!

beaglenapper February 17 2011, 23:56:20 UTC

It gets quite competitive, too; whose egg will survive? Whose will perish? It's life and death, physics!

ahappylie February 17 2011, 23:58:02 UTC

It's so different from when I went!

...

What is [pardon him mangling the word] "fiz...icks..."? Is it a martial art with eggs?

beaglenapper February 17 2011, 23:59:47 UTC

Only in the toughest schools. And some will even use lead weights and incline planes! PHYSICS, lad! It's what makes the world go 'round!

ahappylie February 18 2011, 00:01:38 UTC

Oh, lead weights could be interesting to use in class. I wonder if I should use them on Sokka-kun the next time we go training.

And I thought the gods made the world turn.

beaglenapper February 18 2011, 00:09:08 UTC

Centripetal force---there's an experiment.......Never mind. And they do, in their way---through PHYSICS.

ahappylie February 18 2011, 00:11:57 UTC

Oh, so this is like magic? I see!

[Sorry, Scotty. Man of the old times, has never even seen a moving vehicle that didn't require a horse or ox to pull it.]

beaglenapper February 18 2011, 00:13:54 UTC

Not magic. Why don't you sign up for the course if you're interested?

ahappylie February 18 2011, 00:19:01 UTC

But you just said the gods used it to turn the world.

[ffff, Okita just laughs] I'm afraid I'm far too old for schooling now.

beaglenapper February 18 2011, 00:44:54 UTC

No one is ever too old to learn. There are certain physical laws of nature that guide and direct the forces of the universe. We can observe, measure, and record them, and use them to make good decisions regarding engineering and design.

ahappylie February 18 2011, 00:52:36 UTC

[Okita is kind of lost now.

....

Yeah, really lost.]

...Oh. Maybe I'll come see the egg drop then~ That sounds fun.

beaglenapper February 18 2011, 00:57:16 UTC

Aye! The egg drop! And perhaps you'll become a fan of the physical sciences, lad! Also? It's exciting!

ahappylie February 18 2011, 01:02:28 UTC

If it would help me in my training, perhaps. It does sound exciting though! I hope the eggs survive.

beaglenapper February 20 2011, 01:20:04 UTC

That is the nature of the egg drop: some eggs survive; some we mourn later when I play a solemn funeral march on the pipes.

ahappylie February 20 2011, 13:05:24 UTC

You really mourn the eggs?

beaglenapper February 22 2011, 14:47:42 UTC

No, but a bit of pageantry never hurt anyone, did it.
