The stalwart researchers at "How Much is Inside?" are the real heroes of everyday science. I applaud their dedication to precision and prolific output. I don't have the sort of friends who will sit around with me all night and label CDs with a Sharpie until it runs out. You're good people, but I'm just not that lucky.
A standard issue black ink Sharpie will label 968 CDs. That's approximately 1800 feet or 6 football fields for those who can only think of the world in terms of football fields.
If the thought of eating all the filling found in a box of Oreos as one rich ball of trans-fat loaded sugar lard disgusts you, don't look at the Oreo experiment.
Here is the complete archive of How Much is Inside? experiments - a classic home investigation destination.
hee hee! If only I had that much time on my hands. Are all scientists so "alternative" and cool looking? discuss.
They are definitely investigative hipsters. But hilarious. I enjoyed a couple of the others, and they discussed MY latest Mac lipstick color (which I heard is the most popular Mac lipstick in the US), Twig, in the lipstick investigation.
No, hence the need to create their own cabal of alternative home investigation science.
I want to join. My first project proposal will be "How much is inside a tube gun of tile caulk?"
Twig- I lost mine many moons ago, very sad.
J- do you think you could just perform the experiment and send it to them with pics and stuff? maybe they would post it! How do you propose to measure the caulk?
