Granted, i'm far from well-rounded. But i'm working on it. And by the time i achieve roundness, i fully expect to be an expert on the subject of becoming round...

I used to design particle accelerators for cancer therapy. I don't miss that work as the clinical environment was very depressing, particularly the sick children.

Not since high school ... and as I recall, I didn't really care for it much when I read it then.

It's a tongue-in-cheek thread. I'm just trying to change to mood of the Soapbox. You are free to return to the regularly scheduled program of conservative politics, anti-Islam, bigotry and general nonsense if you like.

If you were really as smart as you say, then you would know that there is always someone smarter, stronger, or better looking than you. Sorry, but a PhD won't teach you that. (dummy)

I'm so smart, no titles are worthy enough to be written next to my name. That's seriously smart! (I wish I could have the Master's degree revoked - it's a stupid stain on my resume! :mad:)

It must be because you are so much smarter than me. Behold! You have a PHD, you are so smart and above everyone else on this board. Let us all bow down and give praise to The Apcalyptic Teacup, for only thou art holy and smart, blessed be the teacup! :rolleyes:
