Things you don't know about people other than me

I have been tagged! The "Five Things Readers Don't Know about You" meme has been going around and it came to me, courtesy of Jeremias Paul. In case anyone was wondering, the word "meme" was coined by Richard Dawkins to explain a cultural entity or idea that travels from one person to another, similar to a gene. Later Daniel Dennett of our own fair Tufts picked it up and used it in his book on philosophy of mind.

I am still working on my post, it's a long one with pictures and such, but in the meantime, I present a list of other "5 things" you don't know about various people you don't know. Quite fun reading! (Jeremias also has a great list and attempts to trace the meme's history here.) I hope this act of voyeurism provides enough distraction for me to complete my assignment.

Your posts are very good! It's a delay technique.
