WHY IT PAYS TO PAY ATTENTION IN HIGH SCHOOL

---

 

My Dearest Pumpkineers,

 

    WHILE CLEARING MY PUMPKIN PLOT TODAY, II REMEMBERED A NIFTY EXPERIMENT WE ONCE PERFORMED IN HIGH SCHOOL.  WE WERE STUDYING THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS AND THEIR USE OF THE PRESERVING POWER OF PYRAMIDAL SHAPES.  WE EACH CONSTRUCTED TWO SMALL SHAPES OUT OF CARDBOARD; A SQUARE AND A PYRAMID.  WE PLACED A SMALL SLICE IF APPLE IN EACH AND FACED ONE SIDE OF EACH STRUCTURE DUE NORTH.  A DAY LATER WE FOUND THAT THE APPLE SLICE IN THE SQUARE WAS QUITE BROWN, WHILE THE ONE IN THE PYRAMID WAS STILL QUITE WHITE AND PRESERVED.  SCIENTIFICALLY SPEAKING, IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SOME SORT OF MAGNETIC PULL FROM THE NORTH COUPLED WITH THE PYRAMID SHAPE.  ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT WORKED FOR ALL OF

US. 

    HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO DO; I WILL MAKE MY PUMPKIN MOUND IN THE SHAPE OF A PYRAMID WITH ONE SIDE FACING NORTH.  EARLY ON IN THE SEASON, I WILL PROTECT THE SEEDLINGS WITH A HOTHOUSE SHAPED LIKE A PYRAMID, AND I WILL GERMINATE MY SEEDS IN A PYRAMID SHAPED HOT-BOX.  HEY GUYS, THIS COULD BE INTERESTING!!

 

    LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS...
