Little Chickie Go Smush

My incredibly beautiful physics professor did an experiment today involving a vacuum, a bell jar, and five unsuspecting Peeps (you know, the Easter candy). The little yellow chicks went into the bell jar and the vacuum was turned on. The chicks got bigger and bigger until they started returning to their original size (the air pockets had burst). Ater all that was done, Professor McHot returned the pressure inside the bel jar to 1 atm. The little tiny chicks smushed into a flat, yellow sugar belt. It was marvelous. Professor McHot then said that if we were thrust into space, the part when the chicks started shrinking would be when our cells began to pop. When the chickies smushed, all he said was, "That's you."

The beautiful man is also slightly sadistic.
