Ed-Zakly!!!

I'm thinking an army of about 1,000 hamsters would power my TV or computer...  Hmm...  Add a cat into the mix and I bet I could do both at the same time.

If it is like most US school systems, he probably didn't make a good cardboard backsplash with crappy Word clip art and the steps of the scientific method  spelled out.

He's not a geek, he's just a nerd or a dork. If he was a geek, he would have built the wheel into his computer and had it run his fans.

I think the rodents are trying to get the wheel up to relativisitic speeds in order to slow time down so that they can wait for us to kill ourselves off.

That way they get all the stuff we leave behind.

Clever, those rodents.  ;)

Now that would have gotten the kid an "A" on his project.
