do the bubbles in champagne get you drunk faster?science illustrated


yes the bubbles in champagne does get you drunk faster. This bubbly beverage does make your blood-alcohol level rise quickly. The carbonated beverage will empty the stomach into small intestine more quickly which i think the adults should not drink the bubbly champagne. Doctors have run testes to see what will happen when you give one person the carbonated champagne and when you gave someone the flat champagne. The person with carbonated champan was drunk in 20 minutes then the person with the flat champagne.

Two days at the science convention

Two days ago at the science convention, we learned what is the difference between a male squid and a female squid. The females are the one that have the big ovaries and the male are the less fat ones, which was really weird to know that the female is fatter than the male.
Liquid-nitrogen is a really cold liquid. We learned that if you but a banana in liquid-nitrogen then it gets so cold that you can hammer a nail in to a piece of wood or a wall with it, that would be how cold it can get! I knew that if you put a banana in the liquid-nitrogen it gets to be extremely cold but I did not now that you could hammer a nail into a piece of wood or a wall.
Close to the end when we were sitting down we listening to a guy talk about meteors, that come from the asteroid belt, that land right on earth and he talked about other meteors that come from planets like the one meteor that came from Mars. While he was talking about meteors he said that people just sell the meteors that they found because they thought it was just a weird rock.
Well all the things that I talked about were really interesting.

At the museum

Yesterday at the museum we went to the Aztec world. When we were there we learned about how they sacrificed humans so their Gods would not bring wrath upon them. Some of their people would put their own blood in an offering stone box and who ever put their blood in it would be sacrificed to the gods. The Aztec culture would play Ullamaliztli {a ball game} that two teams would play. There was a 9 pound rubber ball that they could only touch with their hips and knees. One of their gods Cipactil or the earth monster was the creator of the earth.
Later on we went to the Underground where we could see what was in the soil, there were ants, spiders or wolf spiders, snails, Goliath beetles and regular beetles.
After that we went to the ancient Americans where there was a sun calendar. It was huge! Then we went to the native American and we saw the way they fished and how they dressed.
After we were done I thought it was pretty cool that we got to learn about how the Aztecs knew where their home land is, they knew by looking for the eagle perched on a cactus growing from a stone.
All the other stuff we had already seen before and it was awesome, except for the underground it was the first time we went and that was sweet.

today and Pen and Teller

Today was a regular day I did some math and the verb sheet of the past, present and future tense and for math I did some addition multiplication and some division. And then later on today I watched some and I am still watching Pen & Teller one of the episode was about weight loss and how the advertisement do not make you lose weight but can make you gain weight. All those weight loss medicine do no good and make you so hungry that you start to eat and eat. I thoght that it was stupid that they would advertise it on magazines, t.v. and that they would put it in the store so that people would come and by it. The way that you can lose weight is by exercising and eat less amounts of food.
