Cuz I've been around for a while - started in '64  :-X and was the mentor for a lot of the present (and retired) industry RPMs ::) and like an older friend of mine will still be doing it when a lot of present nukes are retired ;D, I refuse to quit 8)

While in school, someone made a comment about wondering what neutrons taste like.  I said fast neutrons taste like peanuts.  Thenuttyneutron came from my answer.

Ex-Navy ET = Ex-Navy RO...∆ Rho or δρ = change in reactivity.  I was supposed to know at all times.

Now for something entirely different.  I wish I could remember the Rod Height song (sang to Raw Hide) we made up in HTFF class...

Something like:

Boiling, boiling, boiling...boiling, boiling, boiling...keep those nuclides boiling -- rod height.  My mind's calculating the xenon we're creating and    sadly, that's all I can remember. :-\ 

Anyway, back on topic...boring name.
The above has nothing to do with any real  or imagined person(s).  Moreover, any referenced biped(s) simulating real or imagined persons--with a pulse or not--is coincidental, as far as you know.

I was filling out the forms and trying to think of a name.  Just then, I looked over at the fish tank "Guppy" came to mind.  My real name is Greg McDonald if anyone is out there looking for me.  I tried to change my screen name once but it seems impossible.
Keep honking.  I'm reloading.

I worked as staff at the S3G prototype in New York for the Navy when we began final destructive testing and decommissioning.  By the time we had destaffed I was the last one left from the crew.  I was the S3G Last Man Standing while I finished my tour with the staff at MARF next door. So S3GLMS

After 22 years in the Navy, I am known as a Lifer.  So I spelled out Navy Lifer as if it were my liscense plate.  Some people however, think I'm a Navigator because of the Nav part.  This is clearly not true.  I was a Weapons Officer and proud of it.  If you check out my summary page, it shows my sex as male so I couldn't have been a Navigator.  :)

Well first, I took the square root of my age and used the numbers and correlated that to the letters of the chinese alphabet.  Using my secret spy decoder ring I got out of a craker jack box when I was five I decoded the 18th word on every page of the book "Angels and Demons" by Mike Brown.  I transleted the Chinese to english and using the letters from that and from the decoded book I wrote all the letters on individual pieces of paper and put that into a bingo cage and turned the crank.  At this time I realized that it was becoming to much work so I decided to go with the first motorcycle I owned a 98' Buell S1 White Lightning.  The other formula was just not working out to well... kept coming up with jiberish.

St. Raphael
The name of this archangel (Raphael = "God has healed") Raphael (Standard Hebrew רפאל, "God has healed", "God Heals", "God, Please Heal", and many other combinations of the two words, Arabic: Israfil, اسرافيل) is the name of an archangel of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, who performs all manner of healing. The Hebrew word for a doctor of medicine is Rophe connected to the same root word as Raphael.

Of seven archangels in the angelology of post-Exilic Judaism, only Michael, mentioned as archangel (Daniel 12:1) and Gabriel are mentioned by name in the scriptures that came to be accepted as canonical by all Christians. Raphael is mentioned by name in the Book of Tobit, which is accepted as canonical by Catholics and Orthodox. Four others, however, are named in the 2nd century BC Book of Enoch (chapter xxi): Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and Jarahmeel.

private joke with a friend

Then there is the story about how “Smart People” above got his screen name.  He got that from a story I shared with him, about an Experience I had passing through Tennessee.  I stopped at a fireworks stand, so that I could stretch my legs.  Fireworks are illegal in my state, and I was a young man, very interested in making things go boom.

The proprietor of the fireworks establishment was an older southern man, with a typical Tennessee accent.  He was as interested in me, as I was the fireworks.  He asked questions about my education, and was surprised to hear that I had graduated High School.  He was very interested to know that I worked in the nuclear industry.  He confided in me that he had only completed the 3rd grade.  Then he said; “I like being around smart people, that’s how I learn things.”

It gets better.

He followed me around the store, explaining to me what the various fireworks did, as I was unfamiliar with the forbidden fruit.  When the last couple left the store, and the door closed behind them, the man lifts up the skirt on a table to reveal some hidden fireworks below.  He tells me that they are illegal fireworks, but that he’ll sell them to me.  I asked him why they were illegal, and he replies that they “blow up in people’s hands”.  Really??  I graciously passed on his offer.

Mine is a Dave Matthews song.........needless to say I'm a big fan.  I have to admit that I've been toying with the idea of changing it to McLovin!  If you haven't seen Superbad yet, you're missing out.  Those of you that have seen it know why it's funny.

And here I thought "number41" was from Ben Hur, when Quintus Arinius says to Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston)

" your eyes are full of hate, number 41....hate is good, it keeps a man alive,and gives him strength"

It should be the plant motto in at least 1 plant in Region IV ;)
