JOTD: 10 inches

The 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class, "Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?" No one answered until little Mary stood up, angry, and said, "You should not be asking sixth-graders a question like that! I'm going to tell my parents, and they will go and tell the principal, who will then fire you!" With a sneer on her face, she then sat back down. Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again, "Which body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?" Little Mary's mouth fell open; then she said to those around her, "Boy, is she going to get in big trouble!" The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class, anybody?" Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said, "The body part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye." Mrs. Parks said, "Very good, Billy," then turned to Mary and continued, "As for you, young lady, I have three things to say: One, you have a dirty mind, Two, you didn't read your homework, and three, one day you are going to be very, very disappointed.

:laugh::laugh: Thanks God it doesn't increase 10 times in size, it would be hard to walk on three legs :)

Uhm...just how tall are you?:-D And the living obscurely rejoice at the news of a death, in the knowledge that it's not us, that we are still in the game. Andrew Greig

1m82 :) I don't know why, but I suspect a trap

Hmmm, let's see that is 1m82 divided by ten - :omg: And the living obscurely rejoice at the news of a death, in the knowledge that it's not us, that we are still in the game. Andrew Greig

I qoute: "Thanks God it doesn't increase 10 times in size, it would be hard to walk on three legs";P And the living obscurely rejoice at the news of a death, in the knowledge that it's not us, that we are still in the game. Andrew Greig
Ahh, but it won't be 1.82/10 as legs ar only half the length of the body, so it would be 1.82/20 which is 9.1cm which is only 3.64", so we really need a 16 fold increase just to get to average size? Maybe I am taking too much into this.... Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Were you different as a kid? Did you ever say "Ooohhh, shiny red" even once? - Paul Watson 11-February-2003

I thought the "just how tall are you" was about the height of the whole body :)

Sorry, the thought was so overwhelming, my math and verbalisation skills were left by the wayside:-O And the living obscurely rejoice at the news of a death, in the knowledge that it's not us, that we are still in the game. Andrew Greig

I don't understand your arithmetic :-O Why do you suppose the three legs would have the same length?

Let's see, a small drawing is sometimes better than a long speech: Static position: Front View Side View ___________ ___________ | | | |\ | | | | \ 0 | 0 0 \ | | | | \ | | | | \ 1 3 2 1,2 3 Hum.. with a equilibrium phase on the third leg, it should be possible to walk, painfully I agree.
