"You have learned how plants and animals get water in the desert," the directions read. "If you were living in the desert, how would you get water? Make a plan and present it to your class."

So Alex decided that he's going to dig a hole, in search of water. Great plan.

Next he's going to cut a cactus, in order to use the plant's water supply. Awesome, Alex.

Finally, he's going to "drink pp" out of a giant floating penis. 

That's weird, Alex, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
