U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer

Once Science became its own class, it stopped being of interest to me.  I didn't like it in 6th grade.  I actually titled my science project "My Science Project".  That is how over the whole thing I was.  I didn't care for it in Junior High.  In High School, Biology and Chemistry were the 2 classes I could never pull off an A and our Chemistry tests were all open book!  I just didn't get it.  My brain doesn't work that way, I guess.  I am not into tons of research and experimentation, especially when experiments and hypotheses and whatnot do not work the first time out of the gate.  It is not my thing.  At all.

Luckily, I got to sit next to my friend Justine P. in 7th grade science class with Mr. Moon.  Mr. Moon was very nice and he was a good teacher and I did try my best, but it was still the beginning of the end of science for me.  We had to dissect a frog, first of all.  It wasn't 100% horrible.  We didn't have to put the frogs to sleep with a chloroform soaked cotton ball, like in E.T.  They arrived dead and we got to then dissect them.  I remember the smell being unbearable (although that may have been the fetal pig smell I am remembering from Biology.  So.  Gross.).  And it was a frog, after all.  I didn't have an sentimental attachments to frogs and they are pretty small.  Once you cut into them, it wasn't so bad and there were some interesting things inside.  Honestly, tt was the colors that I found so great.  There was one innard (maybe the intestines?) that was neon yellow.  I liked it so much that decorated a cake and called it Frog Dissection cake.  I was really into cake decorating that year and I died the frosting neon green and decorated with squiggly neon yellow lines and some other stuff.

Of course, the more important take away from that class was that Justine and I figured out the precise lyrics to U Can't Touch This.  We had a very serious discussion about this very important topic during class or some experiment and determined that it is:  It's Hammer, Go Hammer, MC Hammer, Yo Hammer (and the rest can go and play.  Can't touch this!).  Yes, an entire year of science and THAT is the ONE thing I took away from the class.
