Thermoregulation

Seriously, this is one of the worst things about Montreal winters: cold, hot, cold, hot; street, metro, street, classroom; the constant taking off and putting on of various accessories. It is something I could do without.

Hyenas, I tell you.

I drew this at lunch today in the SSMU caf. Really, there is no excuse for laughing that loudly.

Best Pie EVER

Reblogged from Repulsive Interactions

So, I had a hand in the making of this pie, but the idea, design, and artistry were all Tessa. The choice of cherry filling made for a perfect bloody maw.

They ARE hard to draw

That's hemlock

Over winter break, my dad and I went on this nature walk in La Cañada where we learned about edible and inedible plants. And then made a salad! And then attempted to start a fire the old-fashioned way (and, in my case, failed to start a fire the old-fashioned way).

New Year's Resolution #9: Build a fire successfully.

And so it begins...

Science Carnival--Frosh's debauched older brother--started last night, and Katie, dressed like this, stopped by the kitchen to make this special announcement.

Word Problem

Problem: It is January in Montreal, and Angela needs to get to class at the top of a hill.  However, it is very steep and covered in slush and ice. For every 3 steps Angela takes, she slides back 2. Assume that the hill is a right triangle with hypotenuse = 30 ft (9.144 m). Assume also each step = 1 ft (0.3048 m).

Question: How many steps will it take for Angela to reach the top of the hill?

And more importantly, will she make it to class on time?
