I won a prize.



Three cheers for the Fermilab Friends for Science Education!

I expect to be insufferably smug for at least another week.

Congratulations, History Quizmaster!

So what's the story behind the bison?

I always wanted to get something like that for busking.

Congratulations! You have hours of fun in store for you.

And what about those Canada geese?

There's one at Burlington Mall taking donations for some charitable cause or other. It gets my pocket change every time.

Way cool! I've wanted one of those things for years.

More accurately, I one one of the meter-wide ones, but The Spouse says "no way."

On Purpose?

I'm sorry...someone deliberately brought Canada geese (eh?) to Fermilab? Maybe things were different back then, but these days we've got a whole lot of them staying at Argonne year-round, and they're not the most sanitary of critters. (Compared to bison, though....)

You gonna bring that to the NASFiC? You could have Phil draw the Herterodyne Boys herding bison on it in various Sharpie colors, including the ever-fashionable black. :-^)

Suspend a little light bulb so it hangs just above the central hole and you can say the coins are in trajectories with "Poynting-Robertson drag"...
