What is AskBarfy.com?

Actually, this site is something I created in self-defense.  (See the explanation of the problem below.)  After you read some of the notes similar to those I get every night, you'll understand.

To tell the truth, putting homework resources online was a project I started so I could stay in a special science program.  Of course, when you read AskBarfy.com, you'll understand that nothing ever goes as planned!

Yours truly,

Hey Barfy,

I'm trying to do the Math homework, but I keep getting the wrong answer.  Help!

Reply: Lisa, be sure you copied the question correctly.  You can't get correct output if you don't have quality input.  The principle is called Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO).

Hi Barfy,

Do you know a good topic for my science project?  Please write back soon because I have to turn it in tomorrow.  

Do you happen to have a copy of the instructions for the poster?  Is anything else required for this project?

Your friend,
Matt

Reply: Why don't you try growing mold? <grin> Just kidding -- it takes longer than overnight to grow mold!

Perhaps you could do a project involving density.  Measure how much water is displaced when you put something into the water.  Try using a rock, steel wool and an egg.  Weigh each object, then measure displacement.  Show the steps for your poster.  If you're lucky, you'll get a C for this.

Hi Barfy,

Thanks for sending me the notes from the Science class I missed today!  No fun at the dentist (ugh!)
