Pooflingers Anonymous has the
Fourth Edition of the
Crunch Squared series. This week's edition looks at experiments meant to disprove evolution in your own back yard:
This section asks the reader to prove that cosmological evolution can't happen by performing in-house experiments such as clearing a room out completely and seeing if something forms (yes, it's that bad).
And my home state gets a reference. Wee!
It also asks that the reader overfill a propane tank to see if gas becomes a solid. First, we need to be a little bit colder, say, by a few hundred degrees Kelvin. That's just not going to happen in your backyard... even if you live in Wisconsin.
On second thought, why do people always use Wisconsin as their example of somewhere really cold? Why not Minnesota? Or, hell, why not Alaska or Canada? I mean, we complain about our weather a lot, but it has to be worse farther north, right? Right?

I honestly thought about using Canada, Alaska or North Dakota... hell, I even thought about using my home state of Idaho. We'd give you a run for your money. The reason I chose Wisconsin is you get that cold-ass lake air (I'm originally from Michigan, so I know how winters get around there) and at least we out West have some mountains to block the wind.
That, and I'm afraid some people wouldn't be able to find Idaho on a map (don't laugh, it has happened before). Minnesota would have been good, but again: no lake air.
It's actually so cold up here in AK that the laws (er, theories) of physics are different, so it's probably best that you stuck to flyover country...
And as far as finding stuff on a map, you would be shocked to learn how many people asked "can you do that" when I told them I was driving up here.
