"So, what happened to you?"
"I got trapped in a molasses flow!"
"What did you do?"
"I yelled, "Fire!""
"Why did you yell 'fire?'"
"You think anybody would come if I yelled, "Molasses"?"

The students performed experiments in a walk-in refrigerator to model how corn syrup, standing in for the molasses, would behave in cold temperatures.

How is that science?

Tell you what, I'm going to study the Hindenburg disaster, but I'm not going to use Hydrogen when I build a scale model. It's too dangerous. Instead, I will use some other gas so that I can precisely measure exactly what happened during the explosion. You know, it;'s this kind of "science" that provides Global Warming nonsense.

By the way, back to Molasses in 1919, I've been told that you could smell molasses in Boston's North End for decades during warm weather.

I’d love to know why they were storing over 2 million gallons of molasses in one tank.

"You think anybody would come if I yelled, "Molasses"?"

How about "chocolate?"

Cue the Smothers Brothers.

A crazy and historical event - it’s difficult to imagine being drowned in molasses.

I’m trying to stay off sugar today, but I had to click on this. Now I’m hungry for molasses and biscuits!
