“Ferret Faucet There ought to be a law against Science Fair. To me, it's a bigger waste of time than teaching a pig to yodel. Unfortunately, Mr. Ratnose didn't see it that way.
So there I sat working on a Science Fair project. I had wanted to build something useful, like a working model of a volcano or a deranged robot shark.
