Flying maggotsWhen I was in year 9 we were doing a biology experiment about respiration.
You had some maggots in a test tube connected to another test tube full of water. A vacuum pump gently sucked air through the two test tubes and you had to count the air bubbles in the water to see how quickly the maggots were breathing.
For some reason the teacher had to leave the classroom for a bit and I decided to see what would happen if the vacuum pump was reversed and turned up to 11.
Results were as follows:
1. Maggots shot across the room at about 60 mph.
2. Wall 1 Maggots 0
3. Maggots hitting said wall at about 60 mph make a 'Phluk' sound.
4. Stains of squished maggots are quite hard to clean off a white wall if you only have a damp kitchen towel.
5. The classroom Omerta is surprisingly easy to maintain when everybody's laughing so hard it hurts.
