<p>JJJNET: Thank you.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention this: A former principal of mine, who is an alum of a school I am applying to, is writing a rec for me. I am the first and only high school graduate of that school--it's a transitional school, I have been the only person to transition from there into a "regular" high school and receive a high school diploma (I think this would be deemed a hook, I'm not sure though). I'm thinking that the adcomm of that school will say to themselves: "We have to admit him, he's Mr. ****'s success story." I don't mean to hijack this thread, but what do you think about this?</p>
<p>one for fat lossing food, one for more effective auto indignition system, one for insects killing pills</p>
<p>insect killing... pills? How does that work?</p>
<p>I have not yet achevied it yet, but I got a call up with the my countries national soccer team. Looking forward to it. They are expecting a sellout 100,000 plus crowd, and being only 17 years old, only makes it sweeter.</p>
<p>I built a homemade nuclear fusion reactor (hot fusion, as in 200 million degrees) in my basement in my sophomore year of high school, and have been doing some of my own independent research with it to this day. It is one of maybe 12-15 made by an amateur worldwide, one of only 5 made by somebody under the age of 18 in the past decade, and one of the most powerful ever made by an amateur. My results were verified and substantiated by a professor at MIT's Space Systems Laboratory who is working on a similar type of device. My website details the specifics of the machine and a lot of what I did with it: <a href="http://www.brian-mcdermott.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.brian-mcdermott.com</a> .</p>
<p>I was filmed, along with the device, for a documentary movie on energy that should be in theaters or on TV sometime in the spring. The film's producer is Jeff Gibbs, a man best known for his work in co-producing "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Bowling for Columbine." </p>
<p>I could not enter this in a science fair or similar competition due to hazards like high voltage (50,000 volts), flammble gases and radiation. The legal rules regarding these things were impossible for me to circumvent.</p>
<p>I'm sorry that I would not tell you the details about how it works, but I think I could say some general imformations.
The current insects kill things, are most single ingredient,once the insects' bodies get adopted to the chemical killer, the pill will become less eficient, and if you want to make it still as efficient as before, you need to use much more than before, and most of the killers are not good for human beings either.
I used more than 10 ingredients in my killer, thus it will become more effecient than the single elemented killer, and all of them are from human-friendly matierials, though any one of the ingredient could not really kill insects, but when they combined, the total effect is as much as a strong single ingredient. and because of its variaty, and diversity, it is much harder for the insects' body to get used to. at least a much longer time!</p>
<p>i survived high school?</p>
<p>brian, that is so amazing. Even moreso than I read bits and pieces about it earlier. Perhaps part of my awe is due to the fact that I am completely (and voluntarily) ignorant of all things having to do with science, but regardless I am impressed. :)</p>
<p>I can walk upright...</p>
<p>I once scored 156 points against the computer on All-Madden during 5-minute quarters in Madden 2006.</p>
<p>P.S. Brian, please don't blow up my house.</p>
<p>I can walk in 5 inch heels.</p>
<p>Walk in 5 inch heels?! Ladies and gentlemen, that is an amazing accomplishment. I can't do that, and I'm even a girl!</p>
<p>I got all the way through Siddhartha?</p>
<p>No, really. :) I'm not a sciences person, but more of a humanities kind of guy. I started a webzine devoted to the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and other historical series books that was featured as Yahoo.com's Website of the Day, spotlighted in an nationally-syndicated Entertainment Weekly featurette, and used as a source in an issue of Newsweek.</p>
