Here are some interesting scientific facts of which you may not of been 
aware. These were culled from essays submitted to the New Scientist by 
children - at least I think and hope its children and not science
university students.

# H2O is hot water and CO2 is cold water.

# To collect fumes of sulphur, hold a deacon over a bunsen flame in a 
        test tube.
# Three kinds of blood vessel are arteries, vanes and caterillars.

#The moon is a planet, just like earth, only it is even deader.

# Artificial insemination is when the farmer does it to the cow instead 
        of the bull.
# Mushrooms always grow in damp places, so they look like umbrellas.

# Magnet: something you find crawling all over a dead cat.

# Planet a body of earth surrounded by sky.

# Rhubarb: a kind of celery gone bloodshot.

# Vacuum: a large empty space were the pope lives.

# The tides are a fight between the earth and the moon. All water tends 
        towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon and 
        nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in the 
        fight.

# The pistol of a flower is its only protection against insects.
