You’re probably not alone, but definitely in the minority, in being a doper who knows what _cuauhtemoc_ is. Unless you explained it to everyone.

I’ve met other Dopers in five different countries, but I suspect some of the Europeans have also done that. I might be the only American currently living in the USA who has, though.

_cuauhtemoc_ is… a state of mind.

Well then…I guess you’re no longer in the minority. Or, you won’t be soon. 😃

I may be the only Doper who restores and repairs fountain pens.

My DNA.

And perhaps I might be the only Doper to have participated in an AIDS vaccine study.

I’m pretty sure I’m the only Doper who goes to Mansfield University. (Hey, if there are more of ya, lemme know!) Other than that… probably nothing in particular, I’m just special. 🙂

I think I’m the youngest Canadian doper.  
I would say DNA, but um, funny story. Did you know accidentally bleeding into a vat of lard would create a evil super intelligent clone? Cause I sure didn’t.

Apparently, no one else has gotten that this is an oxymoron. Does that make me unique?

I think I’m the only doper that drives a Studebaker GT Hawk. (Well, at least the only one that has confessed to it)

I think I’m the only airline pilot on the boards. Lots of pilots here, but no one else has confessed to doing it for a living!

Other than my job I’m an average joe boarder.

\<-- The only doper on the receiving end of an alley-oop pass from an NBA player.

I hate to be that specific but with the wide range of people around here that might be what it takes.

Damn! :mad:

I heard that only 1 in 1,000 guys can do that too…figured I had to have a good chance of being the _only_ guy here who could pull it off.

Haven’t broken my neck yet! 😃

I’m the only Doper pursuing a degree in Biomedical Engineering that I know of.
