    I was trying to figure out how to revive the picture wars thread and try to add a science motif to it..then i thought of this show i loved to watch..Connections (video link here) with james burke, i thought that would be a great idea for a science game, so here it is..

    the object is to post connections with the previous post..
    IE if i posted;

    the next poster can post something related to it and a short statement to show the connection

    IE;

    In 1946 Percy Spencer, an engineer working at Raytheon, walked through a room in which a magnetron was being tested and noticed that the chocolate bar in his pocket had melted. It occurred to him that the microwaves being generated by the magnetrons could be used to cook food.

    the next poster then can post a pic related to the chocolate bar..etc..etc..

    users can post more than one connection (a series of connections) each related to the previous and a short statement of connectivity..(links very helpful but not as a substitute for a short statement)

    in the interest of fluidity, it is suggested NOT to get too hung up on inaccuracies..IOW you are allowed to post corrections but please be brief and try not to derail the fluidity of this game...

    if points were to be given it would be given for;
    Apparent unrelated items shown to be related,
    Wisdom to correct AND keep the thread on track,
    All points will be taken away from any users that posts a pic that can not be connected with..(IE for getting the thread stuck)

    you can start with either the microwave or the chocolate bar..

    I loved that show. They used to play it on the Science channel a couple of years ago, but I don't see it any more.
