Harry Chung should be deemed master of weekly eating contests at Naperville North during period 4 lunch, at the table next to the deli line with many Asians playing fool.

The reason for this is that he is at an evolutionary disadvantage for not having a gag reflex. However, that gives him an unprecedented advantage for eating contests involving strange substances. For example, being able to eat at least half a pound of liverwurst in less than a minute. The liver just disappeared into his mouth, and he chewed on it with no regard to the taste and texture of cheap liverwurst, while the other five participants attempted not to vomit. Perhaps eating vast amounts of kimchi has nullified his gag reflex, so that he ate the blob of processed liver like an apple. Champion then attempted to explain why vast quantities of liverwurst triggered a gag reflex, and elaborated on how the fat may have coated our throats and manipulated the body into thinking that the esophagus and windpipe were clogged.

I feel like ranting, and passing on various rantings from my teachers. <br>

There are so many goddamn phonies in the US. First of all, as Joyce puts it, the "upper echelon of suburban politics." District 203 announces that every teacher is shit (or something like that). Scores are good because of talented students, (It's obviously in the genetics! They figured out how to interpret Cicero's ornaments of style on their own!) which pisses of the vast majority of teachers (even Joyce, who came out of retirement and buys jaguars with pocket change). So basically, they're saying if teachers are so damn talented then why don't they go teach somewhere else? Well, there are some talented students, some talented teachers. meh. <br>

Next, the Congress is run by fucking morons. In 1999, they turn down a bill to reinforce the levees around the mississippi from class 3 to withstand a class 5 hurricane. (Katrina is class 4, and New Orleans flooded because the levees got annihilated. Thats because it would have costed $800mil to build, and another $12mil to organinze. Well they just passed a $10.5billion bill to aid flood victims, and there are estimates of at least $26billion worth of damage. Not to mention the disease that will run rampant after New Orleans is dry. Dead animals, human corpses, sewage and human waste are mixed in with flood water, which will in due time be pumped out while blobs of decaying organic matter get caught in the pumps. The bacteria and viruses, will get plastered onto everything that touched water. Decontaminating a large city is not particularily fast. <br>

Makes you want to think, "If I pull the trigger fast enough, maybe I can shoot myself three times!!!". btw, i didn't come up with that quote.

State Scioly is over with interesting results as usual.

Left at 4:30 by car with the advance squad to get stuff impounded and to test fly planes, rest of the team went by bus. I suppose the bus ride in the morning was a bit less eventful than on the way back……..ahahhahhahahhhaa…………………..
 
Tyler and I thought the robot pwned.....until we found out that 4+ teams got perfect scores and 2 other teams beat our scores. d@mn those buckets!!!  (every robot that beat us had a bucket design) whatever. Still, nothing beat our blowgun dart and acupuncture needle to pop the ballon. Rank: 8^th overall

planes=death. Even for Central, and they got a 4 minute minute flight. So a bunch of people come in with mylar biplanes and while we have tissue monoplanes. Not to mention that Prospect broke the national record by a minute, with their 6 minute flight. Rank: 7^th in AA

rest of the builds....I don’t particularly remember....except for mission (im)possible. First thing the judge says, "um.…….so.....it looks like there are a few problems with your flowchart.....". Well no shi7 Sherlock, brilliant observation. Rank: 26^th overall

Ah yes, then one of my few non-build events, Experimental Design. Despite the fact that someone decided to stroll in late (not to mention that this someone hadn’t changed in a couple days), we pwned.

Major flaws in our lab:
1) Eric falsified data for the third trial, by making it the same as the average for the first two.
2) Eric and this someone spent 5 minutes grinding the LO59 tablets, mixing them with sugar, soap and vinegar, and then watching it fizz while I played with a massive roll of parafilm.
3) The standard of comparison, because of someone forgot what it was, ended up being one sentence of BS.
4) Statistics.....what dat?
5) Real life application: chemical timers could be used in military combat when electronic timers are too sensitive.
6) Reported human errors: my lab partners…well I erased that part…
Bwahahahaha! This is amusing: Rank: 3^rd in AA

 Overall ranks:
IMSA: 6^th hahahhahahahahh! pwned by us!
NNHS: 5^th yay we got a plaque.
NCHS: 3^rd darn…….u guys were 3 points away from nationals…..
Prospect: 2^nd Wahhahahaahahahahahha! You didn’t get 1^st place!!!!
New Trier: 1^st you and your dastardly plans….

 Now the more interesting stuff. North went to Chinatown Buffet for a dinner party with Central. In my sleep deprived state I decided to have an eating contest with Cindy. Uhg….I’ve never had to chug so much water in my entire life…curses, eating contests aren’t supposed to include drinks! Hm. That was a tie because we ran out of time. I also never ate such a massive amount of wasabi before…damn Bob for mixing the wasabi with the pudding. He managed to convince me that it was normal because he managed to eat some without any reaction. And of course, a big thanks to Effy for dinner being on him.

Hm… the bus ride…hehhhehh….….I learned a few things from that…..
-When you’re on a long bus ride, go to sleep, and feign ignorance when other people try to wake you up for no apparent reason.
-Unless you have a few rules, don’t play truth or dare with girls. If you do, you better be ready to answer a hellofalotta questions, since the dares are obscene. Not that the questions aren’t…..
-Michelle is greatly amused by groping people. Unfortunately, that was by first hand experience.
-Foam pillows are hard, yet soft. And no matter how hard you squeeze them, they always poof up again. You can club people with them, but if you sleep on them, they’re squishy. ……*sigh*……I want one now….
 

Scioly people, there’s gonna be a party sometime….in the near future…….mebe with Central…………sleep becons…
