SwimmyKids Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Why is this thread giving me so much glee? Because as an adult, you never have the opportunity to say the word turd and you certainly NEVER have the opportunity to write it. It makes you giggle like an 8-year-old. Other than that, it's just gross and juvenile and I'm shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailV Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Weird. Mine has the smudge, too. Looks a little like a Paramecium. Or a Russett Potatoe. My first thought when I saw it inmine was "paramecium". Then I realized that it was in the supplemental resources for 7th grade chemistry, so OF COURSE it's a smoking turd -- a paramecium would be in biology. Although I wish they'd listed what exactly we're supposed to do with it. Like, is there a book of experiments that we should use with our smoking turds? A kit?
