By Your Powers Combined

Gooooo Planet!!! That is what I think of every year at this time. April is usually a humdrum sort of month, but we do have Earth Day we can celebrate. What better way to appreciate the planet by just doing so eco-friendly and green things to better the world. Instead, most people forget this is even a holiday and become some of the most un-productive members of society by continuing their nasty ways by littering, driving everywhere they can, and jacking up their AC in their homes. I am by no means an eco-nut, but I do believe that we should all have the capability to come together for one day and appreciate our planet by doing as much as we can to make it better. So this Earth Day turn off the electronics, stay at home if you can, and enjoy life on the Amish side a little. Also recycle if you are able. We only have one Earth, and I like living here so I ask nicely. Captain Planet on the other hand will hunt you down and use his powers to make you comply, regardless of what the 5 kids tell him. But that is just one man’s opinion. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I appreciate it. See you next time.

Does This Make Sense?

If a hen and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many waffles does it take to shingle the roof of a doghouse? First we have to consider the hen and a half. A full hen, sure, but then the half must be the bottom half. Otherwise, how would it lay a half an egg? Then there is the egg and a half. Half an egg? Which half? What if we just made it easy and say in 3 days there would be 3 eggs? Then there wouldn’t be a worry of half an egg leaking out into the nest. That also fixes the day and a half scenario. Who measures in half days? If I say it took me a day, then you can assess 24 hours or 1440 minutes or 86,400 seconds worth of work. However, a half a day is an entirely other set of calculations. All that said, if we look at the roof of the doghouse as a square that is split into two parts, then it is much easier to calculate the number of waffles to cover it, but that raises more questions. How big is the dog? Are we talking small-welled waffles like Eggo, or are we talking large-welled homemade waffles? I guess in the end, if it were raining syrup to cover those waffles, it would be a sticky work day anyway trying to put the roof on. Moreover, I can only eat ¾ of an egg anyway so 50% of the day and a half’s produce would go to waste. But that is just one man’s opinion. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I appreciate it. See you next time.

P.S. Happy April Fool’s Day
