It is sticking straight
out of his head

Rina
thinks Earl has been messing with her hair gel and Earl thinks Rina has
sprayed it with wood varnish. What do you think is causing it to stick up
so that he looks like an angry echidna?
| We thought he might have
been watching too much TV and picked up static electricity. Cody Someone had wired electric wires into his hair Kyle Too much rolling on the carpet and it electrified his hair. Michael. An allergy to something he ate. Candice There was an invisible creature holding his hair up Tamlyn He ate too much popcorn and it made his hair stand on end. Asha Mundulla Rappers |
| Earl's sister Rina used
super super glue to make his hair stick up. There is a magnet hiding
in Earl's hair. Rina has put an electric wire in Earl's hair. Chocolate Crackle Rappers, NSW |
| He got too close to the
TV screen and it became electrified. He might have been lying next
to a power point and caught some hair in that. He might have had a
faulty electric blanket that passed energy to him. Mundulla Rappers |
| I think he put his hair
in a electric plug hole which electrified his hair and made it zap. All Saints, WA |
| We think Earl's hair
became electrified when he got out of the shower, forgetting his
towel which was on his bed. He thought he had picked up the towel
but he had actually picked up the electric blanket by mistake. He
dried his hair with the electric blanket and his hair became
electrified. Rostrata Area 11 |
How has Earl's hair become
electrified?
| His sister turned the
switch on for the electric plug hole which Earl's hair was in and
became electrified.CRACKLE! All Saints, WA |
How did Earl's feet get high powered so he could run
really fast?
| I think Earl's hair sent down
radiation waves to his feet and they became electrified All Saints, WA! |
| When Earl was hit by lightning his
shoes stopped the current from going out of his body, leaving it to
pool in his feet. The high energy meant that his feet tingled and
when he moved they crackled and took off... quickly. Mundulla Rappers |
What do you think might have happened if Earl had not
been struck by lightning?
