A biology teacher in North Carolina was fired after deciding to let her students use their own blood in a science experiment. The teacher allowed students to prick their fingers with a lancet, and then share that lancet with another student after "sterilizing" it with some rubbing alcohol. Hmm... does not sound like such a good idea. What do you think?

On Woot.com there is a T-shirt derby going on where people enter hundreds of T-shirts but only three are chosen. Most of them have to do with some form of science- mostly chemistry or physics.
Check out which ones are in the lead; they're pretty funny and you may want to get one of your own. Also, if you don't get the joke, you can always Google the science behind it so you can be on the "inside".
Post your comments below on which one you think should win.

Hello Everyone-
Here is a wicked experiment called, Underwater Fireworks. The lesson here is, ' Do not mess with calcium carbide. Acetylene is still combustible, even under water.'
