Forrester opened his classroom door and took a seat at his desk. The letter from Arianna was still playing on his mind, but he shoved it aside as he prepared himself for class.

Merlin. Plymouth was SUCH A FAILURE. Epic failure. He stared in horror at the Professor who CLEARLY hated him, his family, life, and happy questions. He possibly hated babies and unicorns too, but Plymouth didn't want to judge the Professor too soon.

He supposed he'd just sit through the rest of this class and take up space and pray that the Ravenclaw Mob wasn't going to be waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs. He started writing stuff down since he had to get tutored in History, apparently.

"Good! 1 point.

"Why did Aristotle believe that rocks could not fall from the sky? (only the first 5 will get full points for this 3 point question)"

Felixir · 01-31-2009, 03:55 AM

Jake raised his hand to answer again. "Because the heavens were perfect and could not possibly
have loose pieces floating around to fall to Earth,Professor."

Torchwood · 01-31-2009, 03:55 AM

Qaz raised her hand and replied, 'Aristotle thought that rocks could not fall from the sky because the heavens were perfect and could not possibly have loose pieces floating around to fall to Earth'

TeafortheSoul · 01-31-2009, 03:56 AM

Cela raised her hand, "Aristotle thought that rocks could not fall from
the sky because the heavens were perfect and could not possibly
have loose pieces floating around to fall to Earth. He even made excuses to support his beliefs."

mmesnape · 01-31-2009, 03:56 AM

Patricia was happy that she had read the text before class, as she raised her hand again. "Aristotle thought that rocks could not fall from
the sky because the heavens were perfect and could not possibly
have loose pieces floating around to fall to Earth, sir"

Angie · 01-31-2009, 03:56 AM

"Because the heavens were perfect and could not possibly have loose pieces floating around to fall to Earth." Willow said, her hand in the air.

highjinx · 01-31-2009, 03:56 AM

He shot his hand in the air. "Aristotle thought that rocks could not fall from

Austin · 01-31-2009, 03:57 AM

"Because he said that Heaven was too holy and perfect to have pieves floating around and then falling," Jayne answered, raising her hand again.

BeccaBear · 01-31-2009, 03:58 AM

Allie raised her hand.
"He said it was because the heavens were perfect and could not possibly
have loose pieces floating around to fall to Earth." she said.

Ama · 01-31-2009, 03:58 AM

Daphne raised her hand. "Aristotle believed that the heavens were perfect therefore, no rock...could..." trailed off the blond as everyone answered and chewed on her lower lip bitterly. What was the reason behind her slow reactions? Sighing heavily, she settled for scribbling some notes down to later begin a rather crude drawing of a dinosaur chewing on Plymouth's ear hair.

Anna Banana · 01-31-2009, 03:58 AM

Even though several others had already answered, Anna felt as if she should add her input, as well. She raised her hand into the air once again. "Aristotle thought that rocks could not fall from the sky because the heavens were perfect and could not possibly have loose pieces floating around to fall to Earth," she said.

Zeke Weasley · 01-31-2009, 04:00 AM

Zeke was about to raise his hand and answer, but he saw that everyone had beaten him to it. Oh, well, he thought. I got a point earlier! he thought with an inward smile.

Hedwig18 · 01-31-2009, 04:01 AM

Ana raised her hand " He belivied that rocks could not fall from the sky because the heavens were perfect and could not possibly have loose pieces floating around to fall to Earth"

"What One Theory did Aristotle give, and what was the alternate theory giving us the name "thuderstones"?"

(4points to the first 4, no other points given after.)

(ooc: I have to go for a while, I'll be back in an hour or so. If I'm not, class will continue Sunday)

Torchwood · 01-31-2009, 04:07 AM

Qaz raised her hand and replied, 'Aristotle took the position that strong winds had lifted an Earth rock into the sky, then dropped it. .An alternate theory was developed to explain stones that fell from the sky. This theory held that meteorites somehow formed in the sky during violent thunderstorms. Proponents of this idea suggested that particles inside the clouds consolidated because of the heat during a lighting flash. For this reason the rocks were sometimes referred to as thunderstones.'

TeafortheSoul · 01-31-2009, 04:07 AM

Cela raised her hand, "When a meteorite fell at Thrace near Aegospotami, Aristotle was forced to take the position that strong winds had lifted an Earth rock into the sky, then dropped it." She paused and continued,

Anna Banana · 01-31-2009, 04:08 AM

Anna raised her hand, confident that she knew the answer to this question, as well. "Aristotle was forced to take the position that strong winds had lifted an Earth rock into the sky, then dropped it. The alternate theory held that meteorites somehow formed in the sky during violent thunderstorms. Proponents of this idea suggested that particles inside the clouds consolidated because of the heat during a lighting flash. That's where we get the term 'thunderstone,'" she said.

Ama · 01-31-2009, 04:08 AM

"Aristotle explained that strong winds had lifted a rock from Earth," quipped Daphne with an amused smile. "And then dropped it back down. Highly improbable but what can I say?" remarked the girl waving her hand as she tilted her head. "As for the thunderstones, it comes from the belief that because of the heat caused by lightning storms, particles inside the clouds melted or melted together creating these so called thunderstones."

Some theories were just plain funny.

Angie · 01-31-2009, 04:08 AM
