A marshmallow cannon? Greatest. Invention. Ever. It sure seems Bill Nye (you know, the Science Guy) thinks so as 14 year-old Joey Hudy shows off his creation during yesterday’s Science Fair at the White House. We can only hope some on the receiving end had a graham cracker and a piece of chocolate to catch the marshmallow blast. Seeing yesterday’s photos and video harkens us back to our science fair project that went so well we decided to pursue a career in writing. We’re sure you math brains in the world of government information technology did better.

Here’s the president speaking at the event:
