Any leftover deer die and become resources in the following round
Is it just me or is that really morbid for elementary school?
Well, they're really children, if that helps.
"What are you teaching your third graders in science?"
"Of the inevitability of death and how we're all both food for worms and eating food grow from nutrients liberated from the corpses of our forebearers."
Small children are really morbid, though. They're fascinated by death. It's only adults who have problems with it and we try to stop exposing children to it not for their benefit but for ours; because we don't want to hear people so much younger than us prattling on and on about death all the time.
Pokey also did a project, which did not even make it to the school fair, for basic failure reasons
Humble-brag alert! That's a great science project, and a sad commentary on modern schooling if it was not recognized as such.
If you had a big enough plastic bag, you could weigh the sky.
There are just so many deer around my neighborhood this winter. I guess because it is colder than usual so they're coming into yards to get more food? I don't know because they look healthy and other winters when I saw lots of deer they didn't look so good. The one I saw after Snowpocalypse looked so bad I thought about putting it down before realizing that my neighbors would be upset and that I would then I have to deal with a dead deer that nobody would want to eat.
So this is why you're supposed to be careful about how kids use plastic bags.
I'm going on the assumption that since heebie is always right her children are always right too.
My theory about Pokey's teacher is that lots of the other kids were demanding attention and needing help, while Pokey was so happily self-sufficient the teacher ignored him.
From what I know of Pokey's teacher, she's very hard-working and cares deeply, she's a bit green, and she is pretty uncommunicative with parents who are themselves uncommunicative. So I'm not worried, but I have zero details to flesh out what happened.
Is it possible Galileo was so convincing that nobody checked him until now.
Galileo is known for having his views accepted immediately.
It all depends on whether you trust that anonymous person that waited at the bottom of the Tower of Pisa.

15: I'm not counting the years before plastic bags were invented.
18: Related: I originally assumed the Google Doodle today was for the inventor of the toaster.
The toaster was invented independently by two separate cultures, once in Mesopotamia and also by the Mayans. The Mayans never made much use of it because they didn't have wheat.
You could make a pretty good approximation to a pop-tart using tortillas. I reckon the Mayans fail the imagination test.
The tortilla isn't rigid enough to pop-up.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SKIMP ON SACRIFICES.
I'm watching Midsomer Murders instead of Broadchurch because the little boy was too close to home. Barnaby is kind of a shitty detective. He just waits around for enough murders to pile up that all the suspects are killed.
"Once you murder the suspects, whoever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the culprit."
We're nearly halfway through Beau Sejour.
