Nursery Rhyme Quiz

If Scientists Wrote Nursery Rhymes How many can you solve? (Answers
below)

1. A research team proceeded toward the apex of a natural geologic
protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement
of a sample of fluid hydrate of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact
size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitantly
descended, sustaining severe fractural damage to the upper cranial
portion of his anatomical structure. Subsequently, the second member
of the team performed a self-rotational translation oriented in the
direction taken by the first member.

2. Complications arose during an investigation of dietary influence:
one researcher was unable to assimilate adipose tissue and another
was unable to consume tissue consisting chiefly of muscle fiber. By
reciprocal arrangement between the two researchers, total consumption
of the viands under consideration was achieved, thus leaving the
original container of the viands devoid of contents.

3. A young male human was situated near the intersection of two
supporting structural elements at right angles to each other: said
subject was involved in ingesting a saccharine composition prepared
in conjunction with the ritual observance of an annual fixed-day
religious festival. Insertion into the saccharine composition of the
opposable digit of his forelimb was followed by removal of a drupe of
genus prune. Subsequently the subject made a declarative statement
regarding the high quality of his character as a young male human.

4. A triumvirate of murine rodents totally devoid of ophthalmic
acuity were observed in a state of rapid locomotion in pursuit of an
agriculturalist's marital adjunct. Said adjunct then performed triple
caudectomy utilizing an acutely honed bladed instrument generally
used for the subdivision of edible tissue.

5. A female of the species homo sapiens was the possessor of a small
immature ruminant of the genus ovis, the outer most covering of which
reflected all wavelengths of visible light with a luminosity equal to
that mass of naturally occurring microscopically crystalline water.
Regardless of the translational pathway chosen by the homo sapien,
the probability was 1 that the aforementioned ruminant would select
the same pathway.

6. A human female, extremely captious and given to opposed behavior,
was questioned as to the dynamic state of her cultivated tract of
land used for production of various types of flora. The tract
components were enumerated as argentous tone-producing agents, a rare
species of oceanic growth and pulchritudinous young females situated
in a linear orientation.

Answers:

1. Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

2. Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
And so betwixt the two of them
They licked the platter clean.

3. Little Jack Horner
Sat in the corner
Eating his Christmas pie
He stuck in his thumb
And pulled out a plum
And said "What a good boy am I!"

4. Three blind mice, three blind mice
See how they run, see how they run.
They all ran after the farmer's wife
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife
Did you ever see such a sight in your life
As three blind mice.

5. Mary had a Little Lamb
Whose fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.

6. Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells
And pretty maidens, all in a row.

I always wondered if I would ever meet a government employee that spent our hard earned tax dollars on worthless things. I also wondered what you did for a living. I wonder no longer and two of my questions in life have been answered....... :hide:

Please...... realize that I am so old, that all those rhymes came after my birth, and I never heard them until it was way too late to remember them..... Father Junk-Time.......

:thumb: Don't think I've seen those before! However I'm not buying Junkmans excuse that they were "after his time", I can't help but imagine Junkman as one of the "3 men in a tub." No idea which one though.....

How about this one:

Chemist's Cookies

Ingredients:
1. 532.35 cm3 gluten
2. 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
3. 4.9 cm3 refined halite
4. 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
5. 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
6. 177.45 cm3 crude crystalline C12H22O11
7. 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
8. 2 calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
9. 473.2 cm3 pellets of refined theobroma cacao commingled with C12H22O11
10. 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation. In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is homogenous. To reactor #2, remove encapsulations and add ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston's first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.
