    You open your browser it's showing the results of a Google search on "cool stuff to do with a cloud chamber".

    DIY particle physics, anyone?

    I guess my DS7 is not the only one who's having fun with saying the village name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. He must've watched that video wink

    Slightly off the original topic but I just wanted to share...

    You know your child is in a gifted class when -
    the school (k-grade 6) had a dance party hosted by a local radio station and the gifted teacher brought the class's sets of noise cancelling head phones so some of the kids (mine included) would participate in the fun.

    After the previous 5 years of school drama I just can't express how grateful I am that he is where he is now. I'm seriously in love with his current teacher and school situation.

    Also make it very obvious why Icelandic and Welsh never took off as the World's lingua franca LOL

    LOL Tigerle

    My DS8 is currently looking up Icelandic words on Google translate for fun - then he uses them and wants us to guess what he's saying. I need to show him this video - should keep him busy for a while!

    OT but kind of a fun travel memoir was Travels in an Old Tongue; the author Pamela Petro travels around the world seeking out Welsh-speaking communities. And finds them. Sort of. And she shares the warm fuzzies of Welsh.

    When DD was little she became the unofficial mascot/ adopted little sister for one of the sports teams at DH's university and watching them play was a big part of our lives. The last couple of years "her" players all graduated and she moved on to other interests but DH remained loyal to the team and we still have many friends who attend every game. Tonight the team was poised to clinch their first ever league championship so I thought it would be nice if we all went to cheer them on. Nope... DH and I went but DD decided she would rather go see an opera performance of one of her favorite Shakespeare plays. Yup my 11 year old chose opera and Shakespeare over attending a game. "Mom! Seriously - it's SHAKESPEARE!!!"

    You come home late, and your child, who should be in bed dreaming, sleepily asks "How would it be if your senses were lying?" and then you get into a long conversation with her about severely mentally ill patients who have visual and olfactory hallucinations, and the talk segues into a talk about how the Nazis were able to kill Jews yet go home and treat their relatives with kindness. What a bed time conversation.....
