Re: What is the nerdiest thing you have ever done
I started lecturing a family at the AMNH about how a jaguar was not a cheetah when I was four. My parents had to whisk me away. I have done several things like that. When I was five, I started lecturing a curator at the Museum of Natural History in New York about the fact that they had only found t...
