Graduation day is coming at us fast. For those graduating from college, and some from high school, this ceremony is the final hurrah before settling into the world of labor and taxes. Yuck. So it's generally traditional to get a little crazy.
At my high school graduation, the gimmick was this: the first person to fake tripping while strolling across the stage to accept his or her diploma would be awarded a jug of rum. Somebody beat me to it, darn it! Here's a great idea, though:
make a spinning graduation cap.
To prepare for this nifty stunt, you'll need a CD-ROM motor, a switch, batteries, wiring, and a good sense of humor! Put it together and wow your friends. Um, you might want to be in physical possession of your diploma before activating the magic mortarboard!
