His Wikipedia page says he was fluent in English, Italian and Portuguese at age 16, when he graduated from high school and was accepted into med school. 

That's impressive... I believe those are three different countrys.

I thought you were teasing, but I verified.  Now when Riverbrian mentions he was sleeping through medical school, he can contact Pablo for some crib notes.

Chef Bor-ar-dee was my personal cook in college.

The college Mrs. IT went to her frosh year of college now has the Totino Fine Arts Center on campus. If they’d had then, I’d have transferred there, rather than encouraging her to transfer to where I was. Can you imagine how awesome it must be to be able to get a Crisp Crust at intermission?

Hey, where did you get my graduation picture?

Would'a been handy to get that 4th run in.

The end of the article says it was in the minors that he became quadlingual. It also says he graduated first in his class and “aced” the standardized test. Sister is a lawyer and brother an engineer. 

That would be so cool to have siblings that smart. I’d love to have a brother that can drive a train.

I apologize... I probably should have gotten permission before posting. 

To even things out... here is my graduate photo.

Buxton wouldn't have had that ball either.

Unless we were willing to have the pitcher bat for the rest of the game by letting our DH take a defensive position.

Ask his sister for an autograph of OJ.

My sisters have lowered expectations over time.

Speaking of siblings, have I ever mentioned that my brother was a professional skydiver? Sponsored by Folger’s.

He was good to the last drop.

I always laughed at the hypocrisy of early tv shows, especially westerns, like the Rifleman.  Lucas; Mark, did you finish your chores and say your prayers?" 

Mark, "Yes Pa. "

Lucas: "Good, boy"

Mark:  "Say Pa, how many of those squatters did you and Micah shoot today"?

I doubt this will be overturned.
