Default Odyssey of the Mind...This shit is awesome!

I'm in Odyssey of the Mind and it's fucking awesome.

Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Kids apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program.

For more information go to the Odyssey of the Mind website:

i did some OM back in the day.

i often found it dificult to work with those groups of teams, as teamwork may be essential, a group of predominant idiots is still largely idiots

so i got out of that, and opted for the better teamwork, phisicle, and manuel labor of building a radio telescope, and later ISEF.

thats just me 8)

Yes, it is just you. Maybe your team just sucked. Only one of our team members was an idiot, and now he's gone. Regardless, Odyssey of the Mind kicks ass 8)

Just don't get too full of yourself. Next thing you know you'll think you're some kind of genius.

Actually, I have gotten absolutely no viruses period.

And the car pics...from auto shows taken by me, and I don't mind if anybody uses the images for anything. I just informed the people of copyrights on other sites.
