How about a survey of the worst health hazards in your area? Or a photo study of the "problem areas" around Sac. City? A poster and a laptop to show video of those places with commentary by F. Jr.?

How about testing the antibiotic properties of various household items, sugar, salt, bleach, vinegar, etc. by putting them on squares of moistened bread and seeing which retards the growth of mould best?

I backed the kid into a corner this morning and told him that if he didn't decide on something by the end of the day then I'd be picking something :demon: so within about 15 minutes he said he would do something about the nervous system.

What that exactly will entail is anyone's guess, but I'll bet he'll want to use lots of this smiley :twitch: :twitch: :twitch: :twitch: :twitch:

Be careful if he comes at you with electrical wires, or throws a blow drier in the shower while you are taking a shower.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

I could kick myself now for throwing out that dead rat the cat left in the sitting room a couple of months ago...

What about neuroplasticity? There's some cool adaptation experiments and one where people start to see a rubber arm that they know is rubber as part of them.
