Ok, kiddies, here's a little science trivia game for you. This
is how the game works. First of all, read the question. Then, guess an answer. Finally, press the button with the question mark on it, see that you got the question wrong and hang your head in shame because you're not smart enough to get it right. However, if you do get a question right you'll get a very special surprise. Upon answering the question correctly, a cookie will pop out of your DVD drive. That's right, a hot, chewy cookie will shoot out of your computer! If, for some reason, you get the question right and no cookie pops out, you're probably just out of cookie dough. Simply open up your computer case and pour two eggs, a cup of milk, a package of chocolate chips, a tablespoon of vanilla and one package of cookie mix into the computer. Then, grab a spoon and mix well, making sure you mash the dough into all of the electronic parts. Finally, put the case back on, start up your computer again and go back to the trivia game. Oh, and if your parents demand that you tell them who told you to pour cookie dough into your computer, make sure you tell them that you learned about it in Social Studies. (Yeah, like you learn anything in Social Studies!)
