Dark Matter and Macaroni/Cheese, April 2011

Hi all,

Astronomers have found a mysterious substance called "dark matter". It accounts for 76% of the energy of the universe yet it is little understood. This is because the scientists are looking in the wrong place. If only they would ask Spencer and Preston they would learn what dark matter is and how to cook it up right. Let me explain,

Spencer, Preston and Lauryn came over to the house on Saturday and we were eating the all time favorite of macaroni and cheese. Spencer and Preston informed us that we did not cook the macaroni and cheese right. The macaroni wasn’t “dark enough”. But Spencer and Preston don’t just tell you what’s wrong, they tell you how to fix it. Spencer wrote the following on piece of paper and told us not loose it:



So, we say to astronomers, "Leave the Noodles in the Pot" and you will get dark matter. Then, for good measure, Spencer gave us the following counsel:



On another babysitting episode this week Jaimee Joy came up with a beauty. While eating dinner, Jaimee asked me to lift the bread off the bread plate (we had the missionaries over for dinner so we had the bread on our nice platter which has a drawing and words etched on the bottom). Jaimee said, “Look that bread plate has ancient writings on it”.
