Eight-year-old physics genius enters university
Korea Herald ^ | November 5, 2005 | Hwang Si-young

Song Yoo-geun, 8, wants to build flying cars, defying Newton's law of gravity, and the physics genius which has made him Korea's youngest university student may very well drive him to that dream.

Amid scholastic achievements that have confounded experts, the public spotlight is squarely on the child prodigy and his parents, both 46 and both former teachers. What has made Yoo-geun - born late November 1997 and actually just shy of 8 years old - so special? _____________________________

Whoa! Wish I had those kinda brains. Do you think he knows about Santa, the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, etc?

What a coincidence, I've been taking physics for eight years too. This irritable bowel syndrome is rough.

And it will continue for the forseeable future unless we sign the Podunk Accords right now!
