(I don't know if I'd call this guy a genius, but I'm stingy with that word. He's definitely got the double whammy of top-percentile smarts and creative ability.)

Also: Think you'll get to college on a Miss America scholarship? Think again.

My annoying work computer won't show me that picture, dang it. I've raced in Kinetic Sculpture races in the past and met a couple of those crazy geniuses (of which I am definitely not one).

I'll have to look again tonight from home.

Love the clip!

Wow. That's a kinetic artist if I've ever seen one.
