Growing up, my bible of science came in the form of Neil Ardley & David Macaulay‘s “The Way Things Work”.

When my dad brought home the CD-ROM version (do kids these days know what a CD is anymore?), I fell madly in love with its mascot: the adorably awkward, Woolly Mammoth 🙂 So for this week’s TNT, here are my top ten Mammoth lessons.
10. “On Mammoth Adversity”
There’s nothing quite as entertaining as a Mammoth riding a unicycle.
9. “On the Intelligence of Mammoths”
Forget a trusty steed, if I were a knight, I’d always bring my trusty Mammoth.
8. “On Mammoth Memory”
Mammoths are S-M-R-T!
7. “On A Mammoth Machine”
That is one Mammoth sized hamster wheel.
6. “On Mammoths and Bathing”
Stunt Mammoths. Because they need to make a living somehow.
5. “On A Mammoth Clothes-Dryer”
Uh, owww! So much owww.
4. “On Mammoth Sensitivity”
Mammoth burglary alarms, Mammoth breathalyzer tests… Get your Mammoth devices for a low, low price of $19.99 (+S&H)!!!
3. “On Early Mammoth Power”
Me: That ride looks frightening. Also me: Sign me up!
2. “On the Advent of Airfreight”
The landing needs a bit of work. Otherwise, a solid 8.0.
1. “On Mammoth Lemons”
Shocking.
Give me all the adorably derpy Mammoths. All of them. I think the best part is the fact that every lesson has a rather massive (and woolly) however caveat 😉 Let me know which lessons were your favourites in the comments below!
‘Til next time,
Rach
