I don't know what penises you've been looking at, Jessica!
...I don't think I should answer that one. DH sometimes reads this board.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister is *not* a scientist. I accept that some anthropologists are, but she sure isn't.
I had a long argument with someone who tried to convince me that I was a scientist, because I had a computer science degree and worked in IT, but I really couldn't convince her I wasn't. I guess I just have some expectations of science work (up to and including experiments) that maybe aren't valid. Having science as a background to what you do doesn't automatically make you a scientist, in my book. Not all doctors or nurses, for instance, are scientists, despite science driving what they do.

Our wings are not tired.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Never considered for a moment that I was a scientist.

I think anthro/linguistics fall under the umbrella of social sciences, but it's a tough area to pin down. I probably wouldn't consider an economist to be a scientist, for example.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I have almost convinced myself to buy a "pack" of electronic cigarettes.
I've heard good things about them. If I could find a nicotine-free clove blend for them, I'd buy myself one. Because I MISS clove cigarettes. A lot.

My GOD. I'm having such communication problems. He just answers yes to everything, so I have to phrase my questions really carefully, or I'll go away with precisely the wrong impression.
He also has a tendency to default to saying things affirmatively, if there's any wiggle room. So he'll say "It works" even if something fails a test case, because failing the test case was actually executing a given portion of code.
It's so weird. And kind of creepy.

Taking the definition of "yes man" a bit too far?

Heh. I have a Masters in Library Science, but am pretty sure that does not make me a scientist.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have an MS, and will now insist on being referred to as a scientist. The MS is in nonprofit management.

That makes as much sense as my JD entitling me to be addressed as "Doctor". Heh.
