27 March 2007 Jet-propelled sheep!
Jet-propelled sheep!

The Cambridge Science Festival last week was awesome!! Things that made it great were:

1/. One of the cool organisers (Shelley Rodwell) was the spitting image of Vince Noir of the Mighty Boosh and could sing the Soup Song.

2/. Men In White Live were introduced on stage by none other than Carol Vorderman, who was lovely and ever so professional (but a little bit orange).

3/. We (Jem) made a sheep with a miniature jet engine up it's bum which we demonstrated live to a few hundred kids and parents. None of whoom died in the process. The sheep didn't go very fast, but it was ultra-mega loud with a big blue flame.

4/. We also had a handstand competition and I won! But Jem did drink a beer while standing on his head.

5/. We ate pizza afterwards.

6/. We got the best fanmail ever, from Lane. Yes Lane, science does ROCK!!
