I assumed ‘‘Harv’’ referred to the name ‘‘Harvey,’’ but maybe it means he’s a fellow graduate of the Harvard class of 1924.

One of us! One of us!

Or perhaps 2024. Which means he’s ten years old. In which case the PhD is even more impressive.

My own interests include epistemology, post-structural criticism, narratology, and clicking on things.

Welcome, **Harv**. I hope you have a long, enjoyable experience here with us. 🙂

I believe a== is what you get when you try to the two extra credit questions but it fails to change your grade.

Now I will comment to my interests.

You buried the lede here. [He’s gained 10 IQ points since Friday!](http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Admire-Wit-And-Intelligence/2846647) At this rate he’ll learn how to type whole words any day now.

It only costs me $7.50. And when the exchange rate is in my favour, even less than that. 🙂
