Mythbusters

  Today we went to the Tech Museum to see the MythBusters exhibit.  It was COOL!  The first part was a display of experiments from the show--an outrigger canoe made of duct tape, an exploded hot water heater, etc.

  The main part of the display was experiments we could do.  We experimented with toast landing butter side up or down, yanking a tablecloth out from underneath a place setting (I rocked) and Anthony's favorite, building a house out of straw/sticks/bricks and placing it in a wind tunnel.  The picture is Anthony playing in a rain tunnel, which you could use to test and see if you get wetter walking or running in the rain.  (You will notice the child is not wearing, but carrying his raincoat.)  The answer is that you clearly get wetter walking!

  After lunch we explored more of the museum.  Many of the exhibits were just too old for him, but he loved the earthquake platform and an art exhibit where you could rearrange the pixels of light.
