Totally random

Ok I am prefacing this by saying remember, I am really sleep deprived right now and it doesn't take much to make me laugh. So as I am nursing Olivia today, I have the tv on today. We only have basic cable so there really isn't much to watch. But Dr. Oz was on and he was proving myths right or wrong. One of them involved helium. We all have heard how sucking helium kills brain cells. Turns out that is wrong. A few sucks here or there is fine. Then the science lesson came forth. Helium is a lighter gas, hence the high voice. He then showed the opposite of using a denser gas, sulfer hexafluroide. So if helium gives you a high voice, what does the opposite gas do? If you guessed gives you a low, scarily deep voice, you are right! (where can I get this to try it in person??)  I about fell off my rocking chair nursing Olivia when Dr Oz started talking in this crazy, deep, hideous voice! The kids came running wondering what set me off (It took them a bit to come running, but once they realized my hysterical laughing wasn't stopping, they finally came running) By then, Dr Oz was done so I googled it and found this myth buster episode to demonstrate what Dr. Oz did. Ahh, the joy of homeschooling and unexpected (ok goofy) learning moments....

I hope you chuckle as well. And if not, at least you learned about the 2 different gasses.....
