Scientific AmeriKen is proud to announce the end of another successful year. Despite a year riddled with failed experiments, missed deadlines, the loss of the official mascot,  and more spelling errors then ever, Scientific AmeriKen still pulled out the year on the threshold of new discovery. Though knowledge gained was bountiful it is also apparent that for the most part each experiment only opened up a multitude of new questions. The following is a collection of stats reflecting on the past year, as for the future, Scientific Ameriken remains hopeful that discovery and knowledge from the world of science will continue!
 

A total of 24 experiments accomplished including requested experiments. The Chart on right explains which sciences are covered. Scientific AmeriKen correctly predicted 11 out of 23 scientific experiments with one still open to debate. Page hits increased over 400% from previous year totals as roughly 8500 hits were clocked. This averages out to roughly 327 hits per experiment. Sources of these extra hits are believed to be links from yahoo and other personal homepages. THANKS! Again Scientific AmeriKen has served the year on two different servers, Geocities and Xoom; however, there are currently no plans to move.

 

• The death toll this year was relatively light in the course of experimentation. Included are the deaths of 5 spiders, 2 snails, and 5 mice whose deaths are unconfirmed. In addition, a batch of sea monkeys and the Scientific Ameriken mascot I don't Know died not as a result of any experimentation.
• Total money spent for this years experimentation is estimated to be roughly $35.00 most of which was spent on the Seldeen crap theory.
• For the first time Scientific Ameriken used graphics taken from another page on the Seldeen Crap theory experiment. Because of time constraints proper accreditation were not given to the respective artist. If you know the origins of the pictures on the page please notify us.
• Scientific AmeriKen would like to express a special thanks to Brian Kobashikawa and Jeff Smith for their self composed midi music as well as Doug Seldeen and Tim Gill for selected midi pieces used last year. In addition Scientific AmeriKen would like to thank the Classical midi archives and other midi software sites for other midi music used over the past year.
