Cyclones game with Papa
Randomly stumbled on this paper I saved from physics class in high school. A note from one of my favorite teachers I ever had:
“Meathead! I didn’t collect these!”
Thanks, Larry Cannon. You probably can’t tell from that quote, but he was a tremendous teacher. So many people learned to love physics in his class.
Prior to his on-line guestbook going offline after he passed away, I grabbed a couple of other quotes and memories people shared of “Lars”.

Kelby had a lot to say! If you have any questions about his birthday instructions, please call!

Not terribly egregious, but MSNBC had a graphic that I think misrepresented what they were reporting. They report that sledding results in 20,800 visits to the emergency room every year in the U.S. And then they display this graphic:

So this would indicate that 34% of the 20,800, or 7,072, were “Head Injuries” and 9% of that number, 1,872, were “Traumatic Brain Injuries”. However, the voice-over says that “9% of those [head injuries]” result in “Traumatic Brain Injuries”, which would actually be 637 instead of 1,872. The two percentages should probably not be presented side-by-side, as they are.
Granted, I don’t want my kids to be one of those numbers, but this news segment could be filed under “even more news to scare parents”, like this SNL skit parodies.
“We begin tonight’s program as we always do, with a story to scare parents.”
