This is a question School Projects

MostlySunny wibbles, "When I was 11 I got an A for my study of shark nets - mostly because I handed it in cut out in the shape of a shark."

Do people do projects that don't involve google-cut-paste any more? What fine tat have you glued together for teacher?

Ahem
During my younger years I spent half my time at school and the other half being taught at home thanks to my mothers financial situation. I will admit that I was happy with this way of things as I got to mess around with my own thing when I was with my mother.

Where was I…..oh yes school projects, we were studying space (ooh that’s original) and our class were given the task of building a rocket or spaceship design (my guess is that our teacher (Mr Robertson) needed a few hours kip and thought it would be a good idea to stuff me and my mates off into a room to build up some crap).

I was naturally in my element as I would spend countless hours at home dicking around creating robots and spaceship designs that never really amounted to much. I eventually came up with an idea of a space station. While the others ripped off your basic rocket design (loo roll with cardboard fins) I was a pedantic little sod and spent more time writing up info on the space base itself, the diameters, number of floors, canteen etc etc. In the end I had hardly any time to perfect the design so slapped paper mache onto a baloon, added a few towers and painted it.

When Mr Robertson came back he was pissed at my attempt. He mentioned that the design was ugly, dull, lacking in effort and an insult to me and him. I went home upset and hoped to prove the miserable old fucker wrong.

Fate was on my side, after a few years I got the chance to prove him wrong by testing my actual scale “ Ugly and Dull ” death star on the world he had retired to (The bloke doing an interrogation to this lass we had caught earlier mentioned it was her home planet , but I was more bothered about teaching that old coot a lesson (Bwaa ha ha you weren’t mocking me then when you and thousands of others cried out in pain were you Mr Robertson!!))

Love Darth

(Actually now I come to think of it I should have put some wire mesh over the part we were using as an exhaust port (In reality it was the part I left open to pop the balloon that I made my papier-mâché mould with)
