FILM FAN TAKES SCIENCE BY STORM
He has come out of nowhere, capturing the attention of scientists, and movie buffs, the world over. Although he has had no secondary eductaion, formal or otherwise, Henry Sherman has defied not only skeptics but the laws of physics. With simple electronic circuits and a plumber's ransom in piping, young Sherman has built the world's first fully-functional Laser Indigenous Graphic Hydrogen Thermal Selective Amplitude Bandwidth Reciprocating Electron weapon, or L.I.G.H.T.S.A.B.R.E., for short.
"The idea came to me from a movie, believe it or not," Henry proudly told reporters at a press conference Tuesday. "Everyone said it couldn't be done, but I got a few ideas and did a whole bunch of research on the Internet. Before long, I had a schematic all drawn up and got my mom to drive me to the hardware store for parts."
Scientists were aghast as they realised they'd been wrong in giving up their attempts at developing L.I.G.H.T.S.A.B.R.E. technology.
"This kid is amazing," commented Dr. Joseph Fields, Dean of Physics at MIT. "He managed to increase the power of a simple laser pointer and amplify it by of three million times, through a system of mirrors and lenses. This kid's one smart cookie."
After recieving an abundance of awards, including a Nobel Prize, Henry returned to his middle school, where all the kids undoubtedly realise now how cool he is, and will stop calling him a geek.
