Author's Note: Kay, the only reason you're getting this is 'cause I just re-watched Revenge of the Fallen, and, gah, I have to at least get the next chap out. But first, I have to get some geeky-ness out (not that I'm not doing that already, but I'm an physics geek soooo...):
Rail gun. Rail gun. RAIL GUN! Do have any idea what I'm talking about? Its the experimental weapon they use against Devastator! And do you know what that is? Its a hypothetical weapon. I'm geeking out because of it because it uses energy to make a rod of your typical steel shoot close to the speed of light. No explosives, nothing, and its still extremely destructive, because of Einstein's famous equation E=mc squared (energy equals mass times velocity squared). That means that the closer the object is moving to the speed of light, the more energy it has. And a rail gun, being able to make that rod of steel move so fast, also makes it have an extreme amount of energy, which makes it almost as destructive as (or more destructive than) a nuclear bomb, without all the radiation. *falls over* Physics. Awesome stuff. And thus my geek out.
I squealed. Squealed. When they showed it. Shows how much of a geek I am.
(I know this because I watch the Universe on the History Channel)
That was your physics lesson of the day. And Dino's geek out of the day. Go read Sam at Princeton. Shoo.
Disclaimer: I only own my mind and but not the random facts in it. Or the plot. Or the characters. I'm just borrowing them.
Sam was ready to rip his hair out. His parents were driving him insane. Slowly but surely. His mom was going on and on how is was going to college. His dad had been reduced to grunts, obviously annoyed with his wife.
Sam sighed with happiness when he was allowed off the dragon. His mom was rambling.
"Look! Can you smell that? It smells like learning!"
"No, it smells like forty thousand dollars a year," His father grumped.
Judy scoffed and hit the man with her purse. Sam just grabbed a box of his things from the rental dragon.
Finally making it inside after sending his parents to explore. Seeing that one of the beds had already been taken, and that posters already lined the walls he glanced around for his roommate.
A door opened revealing a hispanic young man around Sam's age. They did a customary size up glare. Then asked the standard questions.
"Criminal record?"
"Rules for girls?" Those kinds of things.
After the formalities were done, the hispanic man, now known as Leo, showed Sam a room full of computers and explained that this was where is website was based from. Real F-ing Deal .Com. A blog on the existence of... Sentient dragons. How ironic.
Thankfully before Leo asked if Sam was a believer and he had to lie to his roommate, Ron Whitwicky burst through the door and yelled something about 'Mom eating the brownies'. Hearing his mother's shrill voice from the window, Sam looked out to find his mother happily exclaiming to girls that her son had that dorm, right there, and pointing. Oh, shit.
Sam ran out to do damage control, dragging his mom forcefully away from the girls giggling at his embarrassment. He tried to get some kind of straight answer out of her, but it was pretty obvious she was high at this point. Soon she ran screaming happily from Sam's arms, and tackled a guy playing Frisbee. Great first day of college. Just great.
Ha. My geek rant was probably longer than this chapter. Oh well.
Next up: Da Fallen. *creepy music plays* Muhahahahahahahah!
Review? Pwetty pwease?
