Ok my son has an extra credit question and he really needs the extra credit?

Question

My son has an extra credit question in general science. He needs all the extra credit he can get.
The question is what's the difference between a lion and a slinky? The clue he gave is a cd with lost and found on it.

This is the same teacher that gave the question that dealt with particle man.

I hope some one any one out there can help out. I'm at a lose on this one.

Answer 1

Maybe your son really needs the extra credit because you are doing his work for him and he isn't learning anything. Let him work to figure it out and help him along, but if he doesn't get the answer he does not deserve the credit.

Answer 2

"Oh, Them Lions…"

The two love to hear stories of how youth workers (and normal people) use their music as part of their ministry. The song "Lions" is a wonderful example.

"Oh them lions they can eat my body but they can't swallow my soul. They keep on trying to crash my party but they can't get control."

The song won Rolling Stone's John Lennon award for song writing in 1999. "We entered 'Lions' and later we heard that, out of thousands of entries, we made the top 30. We were really thrilled; it was high fives all around. Then later we found out we won."

A panel of 30 judges that included Puff Daddy, the Indigo Girls, and Elton John chose 'Lions' for the award. The song has become an anthem for those who're down but not out; it's been heard sung by frustrated travelers stranded at airports and youth workers facing the wrath of church committees. "We even heard it was being sung by some of the rescue workers searching through the rubble after the World Trade Center was bombed in New York," Michael says. The band has heard many stories from family members with terminally ill loved ones who say that 'Lions' became a theme song.

And Then There's the Slinky.

"I got it as a gift one Christmas," laughs George. "The 'Lions' song had a space in it so we just got the crowd to yell out 'slinky!' when it occurred."

"Oh them lions they can eat my body but they can't (SLINKY!) swallow my soul.

They keep on trying to crash my party but they can't (SLINKY!) get control."

The slinky has been on every Lost and Found album since. It goes back to working with what you have.

Another song, "Rachel Racinda," is the story of a girl who can't bring herself to come out of her figurative "house." One of the characters in the song is named Hope. Michael tells the story, "We had a woman in the audience who was pregnant and named the baby Hope. Three years later the baby died of leukemia. The mother told us how much her little one loved our music. Stuff like that defies description."

Answer 3

The difference is that a lion is animal and a slinky is a toy

Answer 4

Its a song by Lost and Found... see below for the lyrics.

Lions lyrics by LOST AND FOUND
Oh them lions they can eat my body
But they can't (SLINKY!) swallow my soul [no no no]
They keep on trying to crash my party
But they can't (SLINKY!) get control [no no]
No way, baby, uh-uh [no, no no]

Satan prowls like a roaring lion
Seeking whom he will devour
Yet I know that though he keeps on trying
He's no match for Jesus' power, baby

Oh them lions they can eat my body
But they can't (SLINKY!) swallow my soul [no no no]
They keep on trying to crash my party
But they can't (SLINKY!) get control [no no]
No way, baby, uh-uh [no, no no]

Even demons believe and tremble
But they try to ruin your life the same
Yet I know that when the saint assemble
Satan runs at every sign of Jesus' name, oh baby

Satan prowls like a roaring lion
Seeking whom he will devour
Yet I know that though he keeps on trying
He's no match for Jesus' power, baby

Oh them lions they can eat my body
But they can't (SLINKY!) swallow my soul [no no no]
They keep on trying to crash my party
But they can't (SLINKY!) get control [no no]
No way, baby, uh-uh [no, no no]

Looking up to heaven in the morning
Looking into the scriptures at night
Somebody is sending me a warning
but I'll let Jesus make it right

Hope that helps.
