Thinking Back

Two Hundred Twenty Eighth Post: Thinking Back

I am still thinking about grade school. That is particularly lunch. There used to be bowls of condiments on the tables. The students learned they could mix the relish with the mayonnaise so that all the bowls were a mixture of condiments. Better yet they found that the could use the spoon in the condiment bowl to fling the condiments across the room and have a food fight. It took the lunch ladies awhile but they finally designated a table close to the tray area to hold the condiments.

But there is other fun things. Ice cream was 30 or 50 cents and you would easily find a kid who was a quarter or 10 cents short. This is when you could mix different foods on the tray and see what they would taste for 10 cents.

But of course, I learned useful stuff in grade school. Pizza Hut use to give personal sized pizzas for reading so many book. I don’t know if they still do that, but it was a very good idea. I don’t know if the following idea came from the books I read for the pizza, but it is interesting no less. In a science book it claim as a future prediction, scientists would spray the planet Venus with algae. This was to create new life and watch it develop. With the hope to ultimately have life like Earth. Sounds a lot like Project Genesis in the Star Trek movie.

There are many things about life that could be learned, but it also sounds dangerous bringing changes to a large planet without knowing what it would produced. What would it produce? Will live evolve without some kind of intervention of an outside force? Many questions a very interesting topic. But until Spock is reborn on planet Venus as an effect of “Project Genesis”... May the Creative Force be with You
