Club Penguin Scary Stories

Clubpenguin Scary Stories are simple Scary Stories. They include so far: Explorer's Fat story

The Fat Story
Explorer: (in Nerd Mode) And so the little acyl-CoA heard a scratch, scratch, at the membrane of the mitochondrion. And so, when he opened the ionic channel--

(one of the nerds screams, "MAMA!!" and ducks under the conference table)

Explorer: (continuing) ...he saw not one, not two, not three, and NOT 3.14159265--

(all the nerds gasp loudly)

Explorer: (continuing) ... but FOUR large enzymes!!!

(two nerds scream, "AAAAH!!!" and run under the conference table)

Explorer: (continuing) So, this, this, motley, ragged bunch of enzymes, well... they meant buisness. So, do you know what they did?

(all the nerds shake their heads rapidly)

Explorer: Well... (grins evily) ... the first one-- called acyl CoA dehydrogenase--brought his little minion out, a little mean molecule called FAD. Well... guess what the two terrible duo did to the innocent carboxcylic acid?

(all the nerds whimper)

Explorer: (laughing evily) They... OXIDIZED HIM!!!!

(three nerds scream, "SAVE US!!!!" and duck under the conference table)

Explorer: So, the FAD-- that rude little mugger, much like Mabel --well, he shuttled the stolen electrons off to who knows where. And then, another enzyme-- called enoyl CoA hydratase-- came up and brought out his little minion. And do you know who it was?

(all the nerds shake their heads rapidly)

Explorer: (yelling maniacally) DHMO!!!!

(Four nerds yell and run under the conference table. Explorer continues with his "scary" beta-oxidation tale, until he reaches the very last part:)

Explorer: And finally, the last enzyme came up and brought out a molecule of COENZYME A!!! And do you know what they did to the fatty acid?

(the remaining nerd shakes his head rapidly)

Explorer: (ominously) They... THIOLYZED HIM INTO BITS OF ACETYL COA!!!

(the nerd screams and runs out of the conference room)

Explorer: (preening his feathers) Pity they all ran out. I was about to tell them how the bits and pieces of the poor carboxcylic acid got sent into the Krebs Cycle.
