^Haha! He's right!

I'm very pumped right now because there is an awesome thunderstorm going on and thunderstorms smell great so I have all my windows open and I ran outside and then found it was hailing so I came back in.

you only hear about these things in computer science classes i think.
spend hours 'programming' it with the switches... that's AFTER you 'built' it - Just to have the lights blink.
You had to be one hell of a nerd back then
