ORDER OF THE SCIENCE SCOUTS OF EXEMPLARY REPUTE AND ABOVE AVERAGE PHYSIQUE
I recently rediscovered the ORDER OF THE SCIENCE SCOUTS OF EXEMPLARY REPUTE AND ABOVE AVERAGE PHYSIQUE and decided to post the set of badges I qualify for.
The "talking science" badge.
I'm an engineer and a programmer with a strong interest in all things scientific. I talk about it a lot. Just not on my blog so much.
The "MacGyver" badge.
I carry a leatherman. I improvise tools and devices quite a lot.
The "I'm pretty confident around an open flame" badge.
I haven't burned anything (important) down yet...
The "destroyer of quackery" badge.
I have debunked ID (and related quackery) at quite a number of people.
The "I may look like a scientist but I'm actually also a ninja" badge.
A cunning ninja, full of stealth and martial skill.
The "my degree inadvertantly makes me competent in fixing household appliances" badge.
I try to avoid this, but my Electronic Engineering degree means I end up doing it far too often.
The "has frozen stuff just to see what happens" badge. (LEVEL III)
Great stuff for cooling beverages. Even better for playing with superconductors and magnets...
The "I bet I know more computer languages than you, and I'm not afraid to talk about it" badge.
Python, Erlang, Ruby, Java, Perl, bash and C are the ones I've used this week.
The "I know what a tadpole is" badge.
Because I don't qualify for a badge with a sperm on it.
The "I'm a scientist who is fundamentally opposed to administrative duties" badge.
Just let me write the code.
The "experienced with electrical shock" badge. (LEVEL III)
I'm an electronic engineer and spent several years doing backstage work. I have both received and delivered more than my share or electricity.
The "totally digs highly exothermic reactions" badge.
Self explanatory. *BOOM*
The "somewhat confused as to what scientific field I actually belong to" badge.
I dabble in a lot of things.
The "I'm into telescopes astro" badge. (LEVEL I)
I have never owned one, though. When I'm rich I'll remedy this.
The "statistical linear regression" badge.
I have written software to do this. I don't remember the details, though.
The "I've set fire to stuff" badge. (LEVEL III)
Self explanatory, really. I even designed a heat engine at one point.
And that's about it.
