In hindsight it would probably looked pretty stupid.

We had them on occassion when I was growing up, although for whatever reason I don't remember particpating. My sister did when she was quite young (like 9), and won top prize in the school for her entry (physics as it relates to pendulums... penduli?). Maybe the reason I never entered was because my parents figured they'd already hit that high note and it was time to head home.Science fair sounds like fun, our schools never did any.

I think science fairs are a good idea though, perhaps we should do them more in our country where there's a lack of scientists and engineers.
Let me speak up for a stupid American custom. I mean no insult, and I am sure you didn't intend one either. I have been reading this forum long enough to know that.Nigel Goodwin said:No, we've had enough stupid American customs moving over here already!
