Our commentary as I watched this pretty much summed up my impression:

On Religious Arrogance

Saturday, November 26th, 2005

So I just read [dead link].

I’ve ranted about this on several occasions before but I thought it could use another rant. I don’t aim to offend anybody in particular but if you don’t support condom use, you are part of the problem.

Why can’t organized religion get on their collective horse and realize that their policies just don’t work. Not using condoms doesn’t promote abstinence, but instead it promotes unwanted pregnancies. If people don’t like abortion, maybe they should try to keep people from getting pregnant in the first place. Furthermore, a “culture of life” should include disease prevention.

I would like organized religion a lot more if there weren’t contradictions like this. I know they don’t want anybody to have sex. But maybe they should notice that not everybody is on board with their no sex thing.

I’m just saying they should stop being so backwards and step forward from the 18th century.

Spud Speed Test

Saturday, November 26th, 2005

As some of you know, I did a school project on a potato-gun this quarter. The project was for EGR705 – Design and Analysis of Engineering Experiments. I had to design and conduct an experiment and write a report about it. I chose to study the effect of barrel length, hair spray type, and ignition type on potato muzzle velocity.

The report was writen using Latex and I got a 98/100 on it. Only a few of you will fully understand the conclusions. But feel free to read it and see what you think.

Here
is my report.
