Re: Weird things that have happened at your school?
Our old middle school science olympiad coach got fired for being a pedophile. It was rather unfortunate, since he was a really good coach (a lot better than the one he was replaced with).

Re: Missouri 2011

Pembroke-224
Platte County-189
Staley-189
Oak Park- not sure, somewhere in the 170s

Re: Astronomy C

Re: Bad Event Coordinators
In towers at regionals, the judges forgot to weigh the towers until our team member brought it up. They apparently made up weights for the ones that had gone before.

Re: Missouri 2011
Yeah, I know. We've faced them in middle school, but not in high school. We are going to be ready, though. We will put up a good fight.

Re: Missouri 2011
Thanks a lot. This is the first time our high school team has gone to state. We were going crazy when we realized we actually made it.

Re: Remote Sensing C
I haven't had too much about satellites either, but there has been some. I am putting a lot about satellites and the instruments they carry on my cheat sheets, because its hard to memorize all that stuff.

Re: Pets
At our last invitational, the one of the event rooms had a turtle roaming around the floor. Apparently it was a class pet of the teacher who was normally there, who just let it roam the room. We had to be careful to not step on it or let it out of the room, and it peed on some girls backpack.
