**** OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD **** Aug. 9, 2007

Welcome to the
O.F.S.T.
(Official Friday Silliness Thread)

Good morning and welcome to the Silliness!  Lucky9Teen had to be away today and so I'm posting the OFST for her today.  She will be back next week!

Today is the anniversary of the death of Robert Goddard, father of American rocketry, who died in 1945.  Time Magazine proclaimed him a fool for believing that travel in outer space was possible.  I guess some things never change huh?  Goddard proved them wrong on March 16, 1926, when he finished building a spindly, 10-ft. rocket he dubbed Nell, loaded it into an open car and trundled it out to his aunt Effie's nearby farm.  It flew a mere 41 ft. high and the flight lasted only about 2.5 seconds, but with it came the reality of modern space flight.  So Goddard had the last word.

We've all probably known someone who was really smart - I mean book smart.  There was this guy in my Physics class in my senior year.  His name was Sam.  He had perfect grades - 5.0 in all his honors science and math classes.  He was a REAL brainiac.  But one day during Physics class we were all listening to Mrs. Michaels talk about some experiment we were getting ready to do, and Sam went flying off his stool.  It seems that he decided to stick a wire in an electrical outlet and the resulting shock knocked him backwards a few feet and arc welded the circuit.  So here's the question of the day... what's the dumbest thing you've ever seen a really smart person do?

Let the silliness commence!

The sorting hat says...

Ravenclaw!

Ravenclaw

Said Ravenclaw, “We’ll teach those whose intelligence is surest.”

Ravenclaw students tend to be clever, witty, intelligent, and knowledgeable. Notable residents include Cho Chang and Padma Patil (objects of Harry and Ron’s affections), and Luna Lovegood (daughter of The Quibbler magazine’s editor).
