Sixth Grader Swears His Science Homework Was Blown Up By A Sidewinder Missile

BRANSON, MO — A young local student was forced to defend his integrity after his science project — a homemade weather balloon designed to collect atmospheric data — was destroyed by a Sidewinder missile fired from a strafing F-22 fighter jet.

"It wasn't my fault, I swear!" said Jared Gingles when questioned about his story. "I built the balloon, I tested it to make sure it worked, and when I was doing the final steps of the assignment, my homework was blown out of the sky by military aircraft." Though Jared had never been a problem student, his teacher found his outlandish excuse difficult to believe. "I've been a schoolteacher for over 30 years," said Carla Riley. "I've heard just about every excuse there is, but this one about the United States Air Force shooting down a sixth-grade science project really takes the cake."

Despite skepticism from the school's faculty, Jared was adamant that he was telling the truth. "Why would I possibly make up something like that?!" he asked incredulously. "If I was going to make up an excuse for not doing my homework, I would at least make it sound more believable than that!"

At publishing time, Jared had been granted another chance to complete his homework project, though the new assignment — doing a report on a fully functioning food processing plant — was proving somewhat difficult.

Look kid, I will help. Do you science project on Globull Warming.

Hypothesis: The panet has a fever!

Proof:

Measurement set 1 (MS1): get the outdoor temperature all this week.

Measurement set 2 (MS2): get the outdoor temperatures a random week in August.

If median or average (whichever best helps your conclusion) of MS2 > MS1 then you win!

And no one DARE gainsay you! Because AGW.

Jared should do a science project on why trains derailments are according to Mayor Buttplug Trump's fault!

The best I can do was that a tornado ate my college project.

My project partner had just put the finishing touches on it, put the paper in the desk and left his room. A tornado touched down a few minutes later and sucked the entire desk through the window.

No really. It happened.

Brings “dog ate my homework” to a new level.
