Something Wonderful: Audri's Rube Goldberg Monster Trap -- "Ten to twenty failures and two successes. That's my hypothesis."

The boy probably didn't see the irony of using Shel Silverstein's book, "Falling Up" as part of his Goldberg variation.

What parent gives their boy such a girlie name....oh wait. Never mind. My parents named my brother Stacy. Carry on, then Audri.

Gotta love any seven-year-old with the periodic table in his room!

Keep up the good work, kid! You already know more about science than a lot of people that believe "the science is settled" ever will. Just ask the neutrino crew and everyone that thought the science might be worth checking, so they *checked the science*. Bravo, young man.

He won't give a damn and he'll be right.
