Did We Really Do That?

During another of our favourite science lessons we were performing experiments where we were burning various things to heat water in order to calculate the calorific value of them.

Burning peanuts created rather a lot of soot on the bottom of the copper can that contained all the water. We managed to get the soot all over our hands.

One of our 'friends' thought it would be funny to smear the soot from his hands all over Tim. Looking back, it was pretty funny but at the time Tim looked like he was the victim of a house fire or else had been working in a coal mine.

Our teacher did not see the funny side. We were asked who had done that to poor old Tim. The answer from our 'friend' was "Matt Did!". As I raised my hands to protest my innocence all the teacher could see was soot all over my fingers. I don't suppose I could blame him for sending me out of the room (AGAIN!).

Don't get mad, get even. More to follow.

Matt
