Hey kids! Guess what? Scientists are winging it. We’re all winging it. Your parents and world leaders and the pope and your teachers and everyone in the world — we all spend every minute of our lives just making our best guess.
New print to that effect. Perfect for the geology nerds in your life!

No one here slept much last night, but the week is starting anyway. How does that happen?

They’ll be in my etsy shop tonight and on the regular site mid-week. Woot!

That’s hilarious and absolutely true in every aspect of life. We’re all always giving our best guess.

I’m pretty sure that the stuff surrounding the middle-most part is caramel. Or nutella.

Ha! Would I get sued if I put Nutella on there? Or Vegemite?
July 29th, 2009 at 9:34 am
No, because it could really be nutella. We don’t know.

I haven’t seen this one before! I’m going through your blog archives and saw this and gaped in awe at the awesomeness of it. It’s wonderful. I keep trying to tell my students that there’s still lots out there for them to discover, and this helps to prove my point. :)

Are you going to make a poster size of this? My friend teaches middle school geology and I would love to buy this for her classroom in the bigger size.
