When I was in High School our biology class was assigned to make up a science project. Students researched for 3 weeks to come up with experiments that detailed DNA replication, genetic recombination, and enzyme function. I procrastinated to the last day and b.s'ed something to turn in by buying flies from a store, microwaving them for a couple seconds, and calling it, "Nuking Flies."
My project was featured on the front page of the local newspaper, along with a segment for the evening news. The biology teacher shook my hand the next day and gave me an A.
My Life is Better Than Yours.
