Also set up science experiment for tomorrow.
Story: One spooky, slimy night, the skinny, scrawny, suitable, senior senor saw Scooby-do in a scary sarcophagus suspiciously situated in a Salt Lake City cemetary. Scooby-do, sneaking stealthily, snuck up behind the stupified statistic student 'side the mausoleum. Suddenly, the student soaked his slacks in shock from Scooby-do's surprise shriek.
The satisfied senor screamed, "Success! Snarly, snotty, sneaky, cemetary scum sram!"

Results: Without any discussion among experimenters as we "blindly" examined fork and chewing techniques, we all agreed that the eye of round steak, when prepared according to directions on the meat tenderizer, was far more tender (as tender as this meat can be) than the other 7 meat selections. We also agreed that the worst preparation was the control -- with no treatment at all!
