tube."

"When you smell an odorless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide."

"Nitrogen is not found in Ireland because it is not found in a free
state."

"A super-saturated solution is one that holds more than it can hold."

out and the outsides have ben taken off. The purpose of the
skeleton is something to hitch meat to."

"A permanent set of teeth consists of eight canines, eight
cuspids, two molars, and eight cuspidors."

"The tides are a fight between the Earth and moon. All water tends
towards the moon, because there is no water in the moon, and nature
abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight."

"A fossil is an extinct animal. The older it is, the more extinct it
is."

effects on the unborn fetus, but that is a large misconception."

heart stops."
"For drowning: Climb on top of the person and move up and down to make
artifical perspiration."

the
hand instead. Or put the head between the knees of the nearest medical
doctor."
