Mad Science!

As if school weren't enough, I've got two experiments going on my desk. The one on the left is my first batch of Triops here at Evergreen. They're seven days old today and both have doubled in size daily. Right now they're almost two centimeters long, only two have made it this far and I hope they don't start to eat each other (they do that you know). I got them for my birthday last year and they're making great dorm pets.



The second experiment I've got going on is an avacado tree. I put the seed (thank you Freddy) in some water and it should either sprout or rot within a couple of weeks. I hope it sprouts... but right now I can't tell which it's doing. Either way it sort of looks like a dinosaur egg.
