Brennan The Mad Scientist.

Wow, bio logging more in the past couple of days than I do in months usually.
Just had a funny phone call. My middle son, Brennan, spent the night at his friend's house. His dad just called me to get the approval for something.
Apparently Brennan and his friend Connor dug up his father's (Paul) old laptop that was "Dead". and were managing to breathe some new life into it. So my son asked if he could take the laptop home to try to get it fully recovered (including recovering old data on the flaky hard drive). So his Paul asked if "The Mad Scientist can take the laptop home to work on it". LOL!
Fitting title in some ways though. My middle son loves astronomy and biology and computers. He's 9 and teaching himself Java and C++ programming languages, and teaching himself German as well.
That's why, when I was buying "techie/geeky" humorous t-shirts for my kids, I bought him the "Science is Fun" shirt from jinx.com:

Note they two children ore genetically modifying a rat (see the ear on it's back?). LOL!
Very apropo. ;-)


School is waaaaaaay too easy for him, even now with him in the most advanced classes they can offer him. It's good that he's not totally bored with school (yet), and finds ways to stay engaged.
Anyhow, that was the first I had heard someone refer to him with such a title, and thought it funny enough to share. Maybe not of interest to anyone though?
Cheers!
