Möbius Strip News: Volume 1, Issue 6 -- Batteries, Blood Clots, and Chairs

"Your source for somewhat true and completely wonderful local news."


EDUCATION
Determined student returns to school only a day after coma and is injured once again. School officials are suspiciously oblivious.

Middle school students are preparing for a prestigious science competition. One particularly popular event is the new "Shove Ping Pong Balls and Batteries Into a Plastic Bag Tied to a Robot" marathon. We spoke to one student, asking him about this wonderfully educational event. "DON'T STEP ON ANYTHING! Oh, and yeah, I really like this event," he told us as he triumphantly deposited a battery into the plastic bag on his team's robot. "Our robot has a 100% success rate, especially when I get to push the things into the bag! When I don't get to push the things in, it still has a 100% success rate 40% of the time!". The competition will be in about a month and a half.
