People who know me, I mean really know me, know that I'm not much on math and science. Those who don't know me, often confuse me with the greats, like Tesla and Newton, because we share a taste in coulots. Who knew? They didn't wear coulots...I don't wear coulots...twinsies!
Anyway, I did some science this morning which is against my nature (both science and mornings, and don't get me started on "did"). I got myself all natural and such and stepped on a scale. It read 86.4 pounds (the numbers have been changed to protect the waistline). Then I took a shower. After emerging and drying myself off, I stood on the scale a second time -- 86.4 el bee esses. Exactly the same, to the tenth of a fraction of a kilogram.
I have developed a couple of theories to explain this:
1. I was actually not at all dirty when I got in to the shower, so nothing needed to be washed away. Perfect in, perfect out.
2. I was dirty with exactly the same amount of dirt as water that was retained by my body during the course of the shower.
Neither of these seems even reasonably realistic so I am going with option numero three
I actually did not take a shower -- I stood next to the shower and zoned out for a few minutes, then I reweighed myself, nothing having happened in the interim, and I therefore weighed exactly the same.
Now I need to do a series of experiments on these phantom showers I keep hearing about.
