ask Dr. Fipple
Issue #2
This week's question comes from Jennifer Styles of Woodstock, Georgia.
Chiff & Fipple is all about tinwhistles and about the crazy, mixed-up people that make them and play them. Here is a picture that may help you.
This is a tinwhistle--and it sort of illustrates what Chiff & Fipple is about. It may remind you of food in some ways and it may remind you of a pyramid. It reminds me of this and many more things.
Now, let's look at an actual picture of the Food Pyramid.
To tell the truth, Jennifer (and we should always try to tell the truth), I don't really know too much about this. As far as I can tell, the Food Pyramid is some kind of new way of storing food. I heard some time ago that pyramids have some kind of magical ability to preserve the bodies of Egyptian royalty dudes that have "passed away" and are buried in them. I guess they've figured out that pyramids will preserve food, too. Of course, why we would need something like this when we have refrigerators is beyond me, although I guess they would save electricity. We should always try to save electricity. Ask you parents to turn out all the lights in your house. You can all sit around in the dark and tell ghost stories. It'll be fun!!
I hope this has helped you with your question.
Dr. Fipple
