8. It's okay
Change your avatar. The Cubs are corporate. The Sox are blue collar. Do it! I'll support you!

As a native South-sider I can identify...but not too much. ;)

4. I don't see why not
I'm a scientist, and all I had to do was give up 12 years of my life, go into debt, be horribly treated by professors as a grad student, be terrorized by orals, give up years of my life that could have been spent earning money and gaining seniority in a reasonable job, and end up working for the federal government for GEORGE W. BUSH.

Sure you don't want to reconsider?

9. "I Am A Scientist"- GBV
A great song from a great band...

I Am A Scientist

I am a scientist - I seek to understand me
All of my impurities and evils yet unknown
I am a journalist - I write to you to show you
I am an incurable
And nothing else behaves like me

And I know what’s right
But I’m losing sight
Of the clues for which I search and choose
To abuse
To just unlock my mind
Yeah, and just unlock my mind

I am a pharmacist
Prescriptions I will fill you
Potions, pills and medicines
To ease your painful lives
I am a lost soul
I shoot myself with rock & roll
The hole I dig is bottomless
But nothing else can set me free

And I know what’s right
But I’m losing sight
Of the clues for which I search and choose
To abuse
To just unlock my mind
Yeah, and just unlock my mind

I am a scientist - I seek to understand me
I am an incurable and nothing else behaves like me

Everything is right
Everything works out right
Everything fades from sight
Because that’s alright with me....

I'm heading to the University of Oregon next year to study chemistry! I'm fairly sure that I'm insane.

12. I'm a scientist -- and I don't play one on TV.
And that's the sad economic reality of the situation...

24. A much better idea!
Yes, we let everyone vote, but all the illogical votes will be thrown out.

Perhaps the votes should include a short proof as to why they voted that way, and we'll judge 'em based on those proofs.

"I voted fer Dubya cuz my cousin sez he'z prolly fun to have a beer with."

16. Too Late
I already am, and have been since 1976. (Got my BS in Chemistry. MS in Quantum Chem in 1978.) So, i will be a science geek for quite some time, i hope.
