Rube Goldberg and You, Wednesday, December 13, 2023

[meepmeepmeep]

Were Rube Goldberg machines and a truly ridiculous number of little candles a disaster ready to happen? Absolutely, which was why Beaker was already covered in flame-retardant foam by the time class arrived.

"Meep meep meep meep," the foam said. "Meep meep mee!--" a felt hand came out of the foam to gesture at the whiteboard's instructions of "INFILTRATE AND REPORT BACK ON WEAKNESSES OF MAKERS SPACE WHILE AT HOLIDAY PARTY. DON'T TELL ANYONE THIS SECRET PLAN."--and then gestured to the other whiteboard, which read, "SET FIRES FOR SCIENCE! TROUBLESHOOT THE SELF-LIGHTING CHRISTMAS TREE."

Somewhere Travis had a blazing (heh) headache called Beaker starting riiiiiiight about now.

So much fire! But if you write down your findings, it's science!

Or at least Beaker believes that.

Could Muppets blow out candles? Sam was certainly going to frantically go around the room and try to do so.

And of course he slipped in the foam and ended up on his back, felt feet flailing in the air. It was funny.

Talk to Beaker!

If you can find him under the foam.

Thanks as always to Lainey who let me run with "let's annoy Tony Stark, but make it a class" as a theme this year.
