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!
