I was thinking of doing "How to build a power plant" or something similar and just using large diagrams.

Any ideas?

I did how to build a computer my Freshman year.. it takes way too long. Go with something easy like changing your oil.

how about a speech on how-to create super-heavy elements by using a particle accelerator to reverse the polarity of electrons and then bombard them with a metallic element such as bismuth?

you might need to prepare some charts and graphs. use different crayon colors to keep audience focused.

Back in HS, I did "How to shoot a porno" in front of an A/V class (instead of a speech class) - I was kind of a TA, and this was all improvised since the teacher was out for the day and we'd managed to fly under the substitute radar. We were loose back then, everyone in that class knew how to have a laugh.

It was, of course, primarily a joke.

Step 1) Borrow or steal a HD camera
Step 2) Kidnap an Avid editor and steal his editing suite
Step 3) Give 2 random girls $5.
Step 4) Do what comes natural.
Step 5) Edit
Step 6) Profit!

Funny thing is that we actually had a fully clothed mock-porno by the end of the period.

I havent had a good baby soup for years.
I was really going to work on my SO's open wound, when all of a sudden a baby and juices poped out into my mouth. I was suprised at first, but then that went away i i just enjoyed my soup.

Talk about mutual funds, CDs, etc. 6-8 minutes is easy with a topic like that...you could talk for hours if you wanted.

smart. Everyone wants to learn how to make money and people will be saying, "Like I get 10 dollars for every 100 I invest!?"
:p
