Two girls, Barbara and Paige, are standing in front of the classroom, giving a lecture.

"Excellent report! Inspired visuals." Mr. Feeny says to the two girls.

"Next team!"

Cory and Shawn stand, give high fives, go around the back of Feeny's desk and Shawn pulls down the map.

Dorks.

"How air pollution effects our everyday life." Cory says.

"Excellent topic."

Shawn and Cory simultaneously take out pointers. Shawn hits the map in the Gulf of Mexico.

"Denver." Shawn says, leading to Feeny moving his pointer to the correct location.

"High atop the majestic Rocky Mountains. Elevation: five thousand feet."

Cory Slaps Iowa with his pointer.

"Philadelphia." Like Shawn, Feeny corrects him.

"Lying low in the Delaware basin, 250 feet above sea level."

"Well researched." Mr. Feeny says, sounding kind of surprised.

I was surprised too.

Shawn moves his pointer sharply to Yucatan.

"Denver. Clean crisp mountain air."

Cory moves his pointer sharply to the middle of Mexico.

"Philadelphia. Polluted Industrial smog."

Shawn moves his pointer stridently to the Texan Coast Mile High Stadium.

"Home of the Colorado Rockies."

Baseball! Now this is something that I can listen to.

Cory moves his pointer stridently to the Arkansas/Oklahoma border Veterans Stadium.

"Home of the Philadelphia Phillies."

"Oh, here we go..." Feeny says.

He and Cory lean towards the class on Feeny's desk.

"The Rockies, a bogus expansion team, mind you, are averaging four more runs per game than anyone in the league... because of their clean air." Shawn says.

"Our theory is, if Philadelphia would clean up its smoggy air, the ball would slice though the atmosphere with a greater velocity." Cory adds.

"Therefore the Phillies would score more runs." Shawn says.

"And win every home game. The end." Cory finishes.

Cory and Shawn simultaneous look at me, waiting for my approval.
