  • reesetee That's funny, karmic--I wanted to be an astronomer for many years, until I discovered that I needed to know a lot of math. ;-) Aug 21, 2007

  • karmicunderpath I've always always wanted to be one but am not good enough at science. When I was little I learned how to spell it to impress adults and teachers. Aug 21, 2007

  • reesetee The Best Paleontologist Story Ever. :-) Feb 18, 2007

  • abraxaszugzwang I love this story. Feb 18, 2007

  • chained_bear A young person of my acquaintance used this word frequently when she was about six years old. At dinner with friends--mostly adults except for this child--I was talking to someone else, but suddenly there was a noticeable silence to my left. I thought some awfully tactless thing must have come out of her mouth, but it turns out someone had asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, and she said "A paleontologist." The stunned silence was because none of the adults knew what a paleontologist is and didn't want to admit it in front of the six-year-old. Feb 18, 2007

  • abraxaszugzwang This is the first big word I remember learning as a little kid. Feb 13, 2007
