Great news, fellow rabid Brainiac fans - Dr. Bunhead is coming to town!The Science Centre and their co-organizers have informed me that, for the first time ever in Singapore, this year's X-periment! event will feature this world famous "stunt scientist".
Doctor of Exploding Things, Foamy Things... and Exploding Foamy Things.
I mean this guy.
If you have never heard of Brainiac (either because you've been living under a rock, or because you're a banker), here's a sample of what Dr. Bunhead does on the show...
Fooosh... BOOM!
And now, time for some of the details I've received about this event:

Is Professor Mayang Lee going to be there too?
I don't think so.
Why, are you interested in her big basket of fruit? Or what she has in her giant clam?
I hope Marina Square is properly insured for fire.
Just wanted to find out whether she goes down, er, I mean whether her fruits go down to the bottom of the pool when put inside water, you understand...
To S.A.:
...and properly insured for foamy water flooding too :P
To Angry Doc:
Oh her fruits definitely go down.

As for the Professor, it depends on whether you are James Bond or not...
