Recent conversations I’ve had in the blogosphere have conjured up small and peculiar facts about myself that I figured I would throw out there for the general populace to chew on. The following are little unique tidbits about me that will either bore you, impress you, scare you, or repulse you… some of which inevitably are intended responses. Let the narcissism begin:
- I can say the alphabet backwards as fast as you can say it forwards
- I have been to Siberia
- I left a virus (trojan horse, really) on my high school’s computers when I graduated as a sort of reverse-graduation gift
- I can recite the books of the Bible in order in less than 30 seconds
- I once, unintentionally, commenced the shutdown of two operating nuclear reactors
- I helped create the graphics for the winning chess program, Pocket Grandmaster, in Pocket PC Magazine’s annual Best Software Awards
- I have immersed my entire hand, up to the wrist, in a beaker of mercury (some claim this explains a lot)
- I had a Doom 2 deathmatch level I created published and commercially sold
- I have played blistering heavy metal guitar solos in church
- I once told my company’s general manager that before he attempts to improve company communication he should first establish it
- I was born on Independence Day (US)

John :: Yeah, the nuclear fuel in the pants is a pretty good one, too. I might have been worried that it would seem like too much of a cross-clone between the hand in the mercury and the nuclear shutdown. I also once grabbed a PUBE source, but that seemed like too much comment fodder.
[PUBE = Plutonium + Beryllium]
Mike :: Yeah, with my resumé I would have no trouble finding a top flight job in either the housekeeping or food-serve industries.
Thanks for the spell check… the Wiki redirect led me astray. 
I think i’m grateful that you’re no longer running around with scissors in your hands (by which i mean fuel rod and pants, respectivley). You should stop by A6 sometime and tell us the stories :p
