For my quirkiness essay I wrote on a bunch of things. I'll hit the highlights really quick, they mostly involve microwaves from your standard microwave oven (various models), to heat various things in times fast enough so I don't need excess waiting. The best involved various water solutions. Unfortunately I haven't done this (or many of my other "projects") in about 6 months, due primarily to safety concerns. I treat my withdrawl with safer paper-based things. My essay expanded on this and gave some examples.

I actually wrote about my favorite manga, which is One Piece if you're interested.

Wow, glad to know the rest of the class likes manga.

Caltech is the life!

Aside from the workload that will probably take over your life...

eh, would my 3 months of playtime (submitted obviously with screenshots to prove it) during the course of the past two years in various mmoprg's (namely WoW though :P) be a bad topic for my quirkiness?

Do you think playing a video game is quirky?

Haha, perhaps DOCUMENTING your playtime would be quirky!
