The largest number of people I have simultaneously engaged in hand to hand combat is 14. The largest number I’ve _sequentially_ (i.e. in classic karate-movie style) engaged is 48, over the course of about 4 hours. ---

I was invited to (and attended) six weddings in the year 2001. I have only been invited to one additional wedding between the years 2002-2015. ---

> [@Foggy](#): > > But it was a stick of SCIENCE!😃 Quite. It was a 90:10 platinum-iridium alloy precision engineered\* stick of science. \*I squished some wire a bit to make a tiny spatula sort of thing, and stuck it in the end of a glass pipette. I actually kind of love the arts and crafts parts of SCIENCE! ---

> [@lazybratsche](#): > > I actually kind of love the arts and crafts parts of SCIENCE! I’m sort of bad at it (though I have built many SCIENCE! circuits), but I like it, too. An old professor I once worked for in a cryomagnetics lab was an amazing craftsman. He was ancient, and his hands usually shook like crazy, but when he went into the machine shop, they steadied, and he moved like a much younger man. He fabricated half the apparatus in his lab by hand. ---

My g-g-g grandfather on my Dad’s side was with the underground railroad. My g-g-g grandfather on Mom’s side owned slaves. I used to tell Mom that Dad’s ancestors helped her ancestor’s slaves escape. ---

I’ve witnessed two people hit their golf ball in the water/lost on a par three then hole out their next tee shot (score is three, a par; one for the first shot, penalty for the water ball, then hole out). Both individuals lost the hole to their partners who made birdie twos. I’ve been married 6 years, my wife has been married 32 years.\* \*I’m husband number 5 for her.😃 ---

I have two extra ribs. And I don’t mean some vestigial little stubbies, I mean actual complete extra ribs. Now guess where they are. I suspect this means I’m less evolved because the only other species I’ve read about who have this condition are woolly mammoths. ---
