Bubble Day

Today was bubble day. Why? Because that's all we did during Physics: blow bubbles (it was a double period, mind). It all started out with one of Mr. Nolin's "demonstrations" where he was trying to prove whatever it was he was trying to prove. Next thing you knew Carlos and Marcella had taken the Bubble-Making Machine (just a baseless cylinder with a beaker of soap) and were blowing away. Then Daniel decided to make his own device (he cut the bottom of a plastic cup off) and well... I'm not sure if it was a success, but at least he tried something. Tiny then took control of the Bubble-Making Machine... he tried for like 5 minutes and he couldn't make a single bubble! He later got the hang of it and started making more and more... but it was funny how he couldn't do something as simple as blow into a cylinder. I guess he's just not good at blowing...

Then another thing happened during advisory. Mr. Rasmuson hates it when the students take control of his chair, specially to roll around the room or to perform similar childish activities. By telling you that you should know what happened next. Daniel took over Mr. Rasmuson's chair once he left the room and started spinning on it. Maurizio was next in line to spin, and Daniel was next in line to push. After a few spins Maurizio started to feel the force acting on him, so he asked Daniel to stop pushing, but Daniel, being himself, just kept on spinning the chair, even faster this time. The result? When the chair stopped Maurizio fell to the floor dizzy and crazy (apparently... he was laughing his head of and there was no way to stop him).

This reminds me of a very similar event that happened some time ago. It also involves Maurizio, Daniel and Mr. Rasmuson's chair. This time Daniel was also spinning Maurizio, only that he spun him too much/too hard and Maurizio spun to the ground. Maurizio hit the floor with a loud crash, but that didn't stop him from mechanically spinning on the floor like a madman while hysterically laughing. Now THAT was hilarious...
