Here on vacation with his family, Tommy Sampson, 5, spent thirty minutes last Saturday collecting data on the number of rocks on Falmouth Heights Beach. Mr. Sampson reported that there “must be a million rocks all over this stupid beach” as he waded in the water. On the same beach as Tommy and overhearing his analysis, Dr. Sandra Pinkton of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution noted that she believes Mr. Sampson’s estimate may be on the low side. “Tommy’s experimental methodology leaves a lot to be desired. Frankly, I’m a little disappointed.” noted Dr Pinkton. Neither Tommy, nor his mothers Judith, both of Rahway, New Jersey, were available for comment.
