Hm, ok I'll bite.

1) I currently live less than a block from the hospital where I was born and I was named after a basketball player at the school that I teach at. That school runs the hospital.

2) Even though I'm a computer nerd, I had no computer experience prior to age 15 and I wanted to be a lawyer. Fate knew that I'd come to BTP one day and there would be too many lawyers already.

3) I've got over 10,000 edits on Wikipedia and I wrote most of the articles on poker players

4) I failed calculus in high school and the next year I won a national mathematics championship.

5) Every new CD I've bought in the last 10 years has been imported.

6) You might know I'm a lecturer at my school, but at least a couple of semesters I've lectured entire courses for no pay.

7) On the subject of diseases, I have sickle-cell trait... so, no malaria for me!

8) I can speak enough Spanish and Japanese to not get killed in Spain and Japan, respectively.

9) I have some top ten scores in the world on Frequency and Amplitude, two music games for the PS2.

10) I lived in Canada for a year and never once ate poutine. Weirdos.

Why not. It's early and I've got nothing else to do...

1. I was born in Dallas because Arlington had no OB facilities. (City of 400,000, now.)

2. I don't remember learning to walk...or how to ride a horse.

3. I lived in Bill and Hillary's house in college with Hillary's brothers.

4. I've writen five novels--badly.

5. I've been married too much and too often to have any personal wealth.

6. I skiied for the first time at age 32 and was a certified ski instructor 3 years later.

7. I once had over 50 bonsai trees.

8. I was a nudist for 20 years.

9. I have the highest IQ possible for someone with no math ability.

10. I live in Vegas because it's the last place on the planet I ever expected to be.

My autobiography will be entitled American Nightmare--Living the dark side of the American Dream.

Ok, my turn:

1) My original college major was meteorology, until I realized there was no money in it, then I decided on becoming a pharmacist.

2) I graduated high school and started college at age 15, because I "skipped" three years of school along the way.

4) When I was a senior in college, I taught entry-level Genetics lab for non-majors.
