Shop Class: 4/26

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac must have been by J,GOB's because there is coffee and muffins galore.

"Morning Class, Today I would like you to design and build a habitat for our favorite holographic dinosaur. Make sure that that the habitat will have the following things:

1. Play Area
2. Sleep Area
3. Bologna Feeding Station"

Sam was stumped. She had also begun muttering to herself, "It's a hologram. It doesn't eat, it doesn't breathe, it doesn't live. It doesn't need a habitat."

Denver, meanwhile, was sitting on the floor by Xander (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/844777.html?thread=39253481#t39253481), since that was where the wee muffins were. An occasional snicker could be heard.

"Problems Carter?"

"No, Mac, I'm great." *thunk* *thunk* *thunk* "Why do you ask?"

"You seem a tad frustrated. Not sure why. Could be my imagination."

"Huh." Sam lifted her head, now imprinted with a crease from the edge of the desk. "This assignment is making my head hurt."

It probably had nothing to do with the tiny brontosaurus wiling away the morning in the hammock of Crichton's hammock, hoping Kawalsky would stop by and feed him bologna.

Mac looked around at the other students who seem to be doing fine. "Well this is a first. Usually the students have the problem and the TA has all the answers. What's the problem with the assignment? Too easy?"

"It's physically impossible for a hologram to eat!" Sam yelled stated loudly, glaring at the brontosaurus. "It doesn't exist after you turn off the equipment! The entire assignment is a fallacy!"

Denver looked hurt by her announcement. Of course he existed.

"Well you could go along with the spirit of the assignment and make a habitat as if it were a real dinosaur," Mac said with a little eyeroll. "Or if that doesn't work for you, you can always build another spice rack. Lord knows the world doesn't have enough of those."

"Fine." Sam got down to work, and by the end of the class she had a fairly decent habitat, complete with edible trees, ferns, fresh running water, and a few hills.

Unimpressed, Denver turned up his nose from his spot in the hammock in Crichton's habitat. What kind of brontosaurus habitat didn't have a hammock, Twinkies, muffins, or a bologna dispenser?

"I think we've corrupted him."

Duo mirrored Sam's confusion and scratched his head.

"A habitat for something that's not alive?" He said absently, then laughed. "Guess that's sorta along the lines of givin' pie to a little robotic bunny-klepto." And so, in order to not be hypocritical, he sets about trying to think where a small purple holographic dinosaur might like to sleep.

Mac rolled his eyes a little. "Okay, let's not split hairs here. Make a habitat as if it *were alive."
