Some may consider these cool:
I had a gin & tonic in company with Prince Charles (well before he was King).
I played bridge with Hillary Rodham (well before she met Bill).
I survived a midair collision (& the subsequent parachute ride).
Not “cool;” more nerdy than anything else (and bordering on humble-brag territory). But I somehow managed to get a 4.0 GPA when I got my MSEE. IRL I’ve never told anyone this unless they’ve specifically ask. And so far that hasn’t happened.
Wil Wheaton reviewed an internet emulation of the first video arcade game i designed. He liked it.
I don’t know if there is anything cool about me. I have a piece of the Berlin Wall that I chiseled off myself but I’m certainly not unique. I share a greatX grandfather with a U.S. president. Also not unique.
This is cool really because my sister documented it. I can name one line of ancestry that goes back to a ten greats grandparent in one line. In another I can go back to a seven greats grandfather. One of that one’s grandsons, a direct ancestor, was courtmartialed during the Revolutionary War. He got pardoned though when the need for soldiers was so great.
I regret to admit, the “coolest” thing about me is an unusual body piercing.
I got appendicitis when I was 11 years old, and got “disolving” stiches in my lower abdomen.
The stiches did not dissolve completely, and I only managed to remove one over 10 years later.
So I now, 49 years old, have a pierced appendix scar. I can still put narrow earings into it.
Dissolving stitches that didn’t dissolve, huh? What’s the statute of limitations on medical malpractice? And, it’s not an earring if it’s in your gut
