It is a purple flavoured popsicle
looks like dried corn, dead wheat in a cup and an oversized cauliflower w/ mold on it. Thats all I know.
The first two items could be labeled as "Items used in the Production of Tortillas in Dried Form". The last one could be labeled in the category of "Things that Resemble Oversized Cauliflower".
It looks like wheat in a beaker filled with sand. A dried papaya off a treee, and a corn husk.
Er body's got Ergot fungus!
This is corn smut. It is diseased corn that is growing a fungus. It must be separated from the rest of the crop and destroyed to prevent spred.
It looks like corn that carries disease, or corn that has been sitting out for 2 years!!
It Looks like a dead pine cone with corn
I think that global warming is real and it is a real issue. We all need to learn how to recycle more and help the environment be a healthy place.
goldenrod
`it looks like a terd
I believe it's spelled "turd."
And I wonder if maybe you should go to the hospital.
do we really need to talk like little kids????
I'm afraid that we do. But only on Sundays.
Also, the actual little kids on the site are allowed to talk like little kids on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays as well.
ha ha that's not funny
all i see is a moldy corncob, a pile of manure on a stem, and some wheat in a cup.
Ergot rot
Makes us forgot
Funny Fungii
you mean cool but stinky fungi
there are 2 ways we will all get killed.
1. we trash the earth and kill ourselves
2. a collision like a meteor
this is really stinky!!!!!!!!!!

or maybe become medicine and heal us

It's part of a tree branch
its some kind of corn thingy. also looks like a huge rock on a stick
It sort of looks like an intestine
The woody object on the right is the cocoon of the giant woody moth (lepidoterus megaloxiphicus). The twig-like caterpillars are easily camouflaged, appearing identicaal to small branches. After the woody chrysalis hatches, the woody moth spreads its literally paper wings.
The image on the left is of mutant popcorn (maize teraterus). These kernels pop in heat, similar to 'regular' popcorn strains; however, the mini-explosion is not due to moisture within the kernel, but pent-up anger. Whenever the kernels grow angry, a strange metamorphosis occurs, creating popcorn kernels the size and green color of unripe oranges. These kernels have been documented to spit butter and salt back at the would-be eater.
Why do they call it a "crown" gall? Does it grow near the top of the rose?
I couldn't find the etymology (the origin of the word) for crown gall. I suspect it is called a "crown" gall more because it "kinda" looks a little like an old style English king's crown, with its bulbous and rounded shape. I did find some information on the word gall though which comes from the German word Galle, meaning to shine yellow.
The big brown object looks like a brain
I dont kno what tha heck is up with all that but it looks G-ross!!!! so watch the food u be eatin!
it looks very dope!!
What's with all the popcickle nonsence? It's not like there is an exibit on them, anyways, why would oyu say a popcicle is a popcicle?
Cornsmut Looks Ugly
gross....... th brown thing dose look like a brain
Wheat in a beaker, a sick stick, and some corn.
L to R: Dried corn husk. Not-dried corn husks are often used to wrap tamales so they stay warm and fresh. The now-dried corn in it could have been usd to make tortillas or other corn-based foodlike substances.
The wheat in the middle could've made flour tortillas or bread, etc. However, it still isn't as much of a staple of the Mexican diet as corn, which indeeed was there before you Europeanoid lot came.
And on the right there is a ball of diseased cauliflower or some sort of diseased mamilian organ, perhaps a petrified stomach...
Or it could be because of the RABID VAMPIRE BUTTERFIES!
it's cool!!!!
n e whoooooooooooo
how in the world does that look likea popciicle?

the colors are grey and orange and are real bumpy.
There's a fungus amungus.
No its not a popsicle, its things you could use to create tortillas. Burritos are good
I think the rock on the right looks like a brainor a cauliflower.
brown ugly log
The neo-symbiosis of the micro oranisms contained in this carbon based life form are clearly the reason that crop circles are formed. The osmosis of the water molecules translocates towards the genetic root.
Corn on the cob-gone bad!
A mushroom like fungi grows on the corn on the cob and makes it look like a big puff ball!
these things r weird
looks gross but maybe with some salt and pepper they would taste good?
i see a turtle.

i really like your buzz word station you have set up. i would really like if you would set up more scripts to use. being an almost talk show host myself. i would loke some stuff to feed off of. if you don't mind. other then that i really like it. also you should set up more stations for less crowds.

It was Monday and I was watering one of my potted plants. Some of the leaves looked like they had dirt on them. I couldn't believe the yukki looking creatures who had attached themselves to my beautiful red impatients. It was a dark gold and grey powder and I carefully washed it off. The leaves had already been damaged. What was this creature? It was a pathogen.
it looks like a brain
this object is a mushroom and some wheat ground up and some wheat plants and some beans
it looks like petrified poo.
Plant pathogens ruin crops for farmers by decreasing the yeild of the crop. The pathogens also destroy vegetables in peoples' gardens.
We try to destroy or decrease bad plant pathogens.
smutted corn as colorful as it is is not recommended by the good housekeeping people for dinner this evening. keep in mind the many stomache ailmeents you may suffer is you succomb to the tempttion
The rot on the rye plant can cause a dissease called St. Antony's Fire when ingested. Symptoms include halucinations, an angry red rash, loss of limbs and eventually death. It was a common dissease during the Middle Ages when people did not understand the links between plant pathogens and human disseases. Fortunately thanks to an increased understanding of plants and grain storage, the dissease is now exceedingly rare.
i think the obeject of the month is gross
it grows in a field. it grows on corn.
this seems to be loaded with evolutionary thinking. BIAS! You don't even consider an alternative viewpoint which doesn't rely on probabily and random chance. After all its 10 ^ 250th chance just to synthesize a somewhat useful string of amino acids, and physicists consider any probability over 10^50th impossible. But we love you guys and I really love the science musuem!
The alternative viewpoint that relies on a supernatural being, you mean? What exactly is the probability of that? And what kind of test could one do to discover that figure?
BTW Where is evolution brought up anywhere here?
This is the SCIENCE museum. We go by what science tells us. Faith is just that -- faith and can't be objectively proven or unproven.
