Sciencing Things Sciencily: Sciencing Harder, Monday

[whatisclocks]

Philomena was sitting at the front of the class, at the desk, the chicken perched on her shoulder and a very intense look on her face.

"D'you hear that?" she said. She turned her head quickly, but saw... nothing. "I swear I heard something," she muttered. "Sound's weird, innit? It's all waves and bits, like the ocean, but sometimes you hear sound when there isn't any. 'Cause of the waves, they go through everything."

It was entirely possible she hadn't slept well last night.

"I've been trying to figure out how earworms happen," she said. "I can't get Despacito out of my head, it's driving me mad. I think it's 'cause of all the oceans around Puerto Rico, there's extra waves, and those waves get in everywhere, like."

Beat.

"Credit goes to whoever can wave this song out of my head."

... and that was it.

If you're lucky, your teacher will fall asleep soon.

Get the earworm out of Philomena's head

If you dare.

Talk to the TA

She's the waviest.

Talk to the Teacher or Use the Question Box

She's seriously considering a nap. The box... is there, for once.

In fact she'd be happy to talk about waves with whoever asked.

Would Peebee spend a few minutes covertly downloading a copy of the song onto her omni-tool, and then playing it just barely at an audible level just to be a brat?

Yes. What?
