The Buzz
Kelleigh’s new red dress was creating quite a buzz . . .
Just Checking
Giovanni had been told in science class that sunflower seeds always formed the “golden mean” that was expressed mathematically as 1.618, and there was also something about Fibonacci numbers–he was just checking . . .
Person of Color
Herby at first wasn’t sure what to make of his stunning colors as he grew to adulthood. He just hoped he wouldn’t be mistaken for a traffic light or Elton John . . .
No Fly List
Charlotte (pictured) was both amused and yet troubled; her recent trip to the Greek islands had been cancelled; it turns out she had been put on the “no fly list” by TSA. The trouble came about when a midlevel TSA bureaucrat read an article in The Scientific American during lunch where scientists had demonstrated mathematically that it was impossible for bees to fly, and, he wondered, if bees couldn’t fly, how would that affect the rest of the passengers and plane. . .
Flossing
Nannette was troubled–she knew she was just a worker bee, but shouldn’t the queen bee be just a litttle concerned about her welfare? Couldn’t that sugar-laden nectar cause diabetes and tooth decay? Should she be flossing between flights . . .?
Where’s the Crunch?
There was so much nectar that a bee just couldn’t carry it all back to the hive. Still, Johnny wished for a little crunch now and then–maybe some crisp onion rings, or crispy french fries with little breaded crunchy jalapeno pepper rings, or maybe Colonel Sanders crunchy breaded chicken, and don’t spare the salt . . .
