Little Alchemy continued

Recently, I posted about Little Alchemy, the Chrome App in which players mix and remix different elements to make new ones (e.g. earth + fire = lava). I still think it is a good game, but my students did find some mixtures that may be a little questionable (human + human = sex). I general, however, I found this to be a safe place to have a discussion with 5th graders that sometimes there are things we find online that we may not be appropriate and the best way to handle it is often, to just ignore it an move along without getting goofy about it and causing everyone else to be distracted by it.
