Brian Benson, an eighth-grade student who won first place in the Life Science/Biology category for his project “Creation Wins!!!,” says he disproved part of the theory of evolution. Using a rolled-up paper towel suspended between two glasses of water with Epsom Salts, the paper towel formed stalactites. He states that the theory that they take millions of years to develop is incorrect.

“Scientists say it takes millions of years to form stalactites,” Benson said. “However, in only a couple of hours, I have formed stalactites just by using paper towel and Epsom Salts. Duh, I eat poop!”
========================================

Ooookay, can we count how many ways he's fundamentally wrong, here?

#1: "evolution" of ROCKS?
#2: "biology" of ROCKS?
#3: When was the last time you saw a stalactite made out of epsom salts?
#4: Poop tastes bad, and eating poop is bad for you.

Not so much, for the comment threads. Ignoring trolls they're usually pretty informative. But they're long and take time I ought to be using to write my thesis.
