Bungee Jumpin' Cows
"A combustible brew of hard rock and solid science, from which emanates some memorable musical lessons about spiders, sharks, earthquakes, the atmosphere, and even principles of physics - always with a light touch. "Blood-Sucking Friends," and ode to mosquitoes, tells the insects' side of the story, and "The Laws of Physics" accomplishes (with hot guitar licks and lyrics) what many a more conventional teacher only dreams of drilling into reluctant minds.

"There is so much talent and charisma in your group. The only thing I can think of that compares with the kids' reaction to your show is the way my sister and I reacted to the Beatles. I'll be in the front row for any of your concerts !”
-Peter Fox, parent of a 4 & 6 year old
Each song is its own distinct ‘package’, and the drama in each song matches its musical style. It’s almost as if you can see a play unfolding as you listen to the words. The science content has been artistically brought to life and given a personality.
Laura Lowell, director of chemistry education, Lawrence Hall of Science
“Jeff has been playing that tape at top volume non stop since it arrived.” “We all love it”
Ginny Evans, mother of a 14 year old
The Cows tape is about slugs and cows and sharks and mosquitoes and the laws of Physics. I like all of the songs. I like Laws of Physics best. It’s nice music and good words.

"By far the most successful parent-child evening event the school has ever hosted. Thank you for performing with such energy and great professionalism. Our parents discovered that their kids are ROCKERS!"
-Marian Marshall, elementary teacher
As a mother of a six year-old girl, I highly recommend the Bungee Jumpin' Cows. Not only does my daughter love the music, singing out loud and dancing through the house, the songs' lyrics have led to discussions of scientific matters that I never would have broached with a child her age. Explaining the concept of environmental responsibility after listening to 'Termite Flatulence' or discussing the transference of disease through sneezing ("Hey, Larry, you don't look so good" is one of Katie's favorite phrases these days) and then listening to my daughter explain the songs to her friends is some of the best entertainment I've had in a long time.

The radiation intensity necessary just to blank the Geiger tube is equivalent to 60mr/hr. In this connection the recommended permissible dose for human beings is 0.3 r/week. 3 The present radiation is 0.3 r in 5 hrs or less.

Several geophysical effects of this radiation seem possible. It is very likely closely related to aurorae and geomagnetic storms. In addition, a rough calculation suggest that the radiation may be sufficiently intense to contribute important heating to the upper atmosphere. It will be important to investigate the amount of atmospheric ionization, light, and radio noise which would be produced under various assumptions as to the nature of the radiation.
