Science Olympiad is a tribute to Murphey's Law. This has been proven experimentally.
And no, I'm not a guy...even though my sig says will robsinson. It's a reference to Lost in Space, an ancient sci fi TV show. And the robot is the character who always says the line.

you know your obsessed with SO when
  • you call yourself soobsession
  • you prepare for an event one year in advance
  • you hear "outcome" and think "overall place"
  • you mutter science terms in your sleep, in class, at lunch, and to your invisible friend bob
(ive accomplished 2/4 of those things)
  • when you dream of going to nats
  • when your friends have to dare you to not talk about SO for a day
:D
ahaha. i've done all of these things...
and i had a dream about salamanders yesterday.. for amphibians
