If so, no surprise - who'd want him in the middle of the room with the sane people?

If you want to study everything, you can always study linguistics with me, although if tonight's Old Norse nouns are anything to go by, it's possible your talents lie elsewhere. I, on the other hand, had to have a pint to restore some sanity when I realised I was enjoying conjugating the verb "to slay".

Ooh, what about locking in climatologists (architects are good, too) with The Day After Tomorrow, or astronomers and physicists with Armageddon?

Oh, Hollywood. You torment our scientific community so.

...Ice Age 3, coming in July, will probably take away your will to live.

Ah, the problems you encounter when your Internet history and its associated menagerie of various screennames begins to catch up with you.

DirtyCommie is the oldest, with its origins dating back to when I still played Counter-Strike and my primary 'Net handle was BoSS|Communist. I signed up for the Bioshock Wikia in mid-2007 with it as the handle, not realizing that the same name transferred over to all the other Wikia sites.

Warrior_Joe came about while I was kicking around at Camp ... You Die (a Livejournal crossover RP of frightening proportions and sophistication), though I don't remember precisely where the name itself came from. That was back in late 2007, early 2008.

And as for NovaKrazny... When I first signed up for Gmail last April or so, I decided I'd had enough with keeping track of myriad usernames and elected to begin using one Net handle across various sites. It's pretty much my automatic choice when I sign up for a new site by this point.
