I love it.

When I was 11, I took apart a retractable seatbelt winder, figureing it would just turn, and turn, and turn under it's own power. Then I could somehow use it to power my bicycle

When I was 14, I was pretty sure I could make my <inexpensive> BMX bike lighter by filling the frame and inner tubes with helium...
