It's a career choice that I want to make.

Gee Rusty, I don't know about the degree...
...but Ms. Molotov Cocktease is hot.

So there are benefits to this whole super-scientist deal. But isn't it more about having an arch nemesis (with hench-persons) and flying really pointy supersonic planes than degrees?

I'll have to check in with my 5 year old son on this question. His current plans are to become an animal scientist, an earth scientist, and a weather scientist, so if you put that all together, I guess that's a super-scientist. He insists that he doesn't want to be an astronaut, however.

We call ourselves geologists.

If he's interested in some fossils or something shoot me a message, I can dig around for some or send some department specimens out... They'd be shells mainly, but I guarentee they'd be really, really, unfathomably old.

I know that, I used to be an environmental engineer. Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass right now. I'm not even sure he knows what he means by "earth scientist".

If being a super-scientist entails having that hot sidekick then any kind will do!

Astrocloud

Then Super Villians are even better because they often get hot sidekicks and even henchmen.

The best degree for a super-scientist? Kelvins during the week, Platos on the weekend. (Something with an OG of around 18 to 20 º Plato and an FG around 5)

Thread over at post 2. Nothing can beat this. (Although the three S's come close.)

Just crying out to be Mokked.

/ WTF kind of name is Ookla
/ Would the Mok language be Mawkish?

I don't know if the monarch's henchmen go up that high.

Here is number 21:

To better represent the growing diversity within the "hench" profession, the ACLU has requested that all future mention of "hench" personnel shall be referred to as:

• "hench-persons"
• "hench-people"
• "henchers"

But not:

• "henchmen"
• "henchies"
• "henchenators"
• or any perceived derogatory term depicting the "hench" culture.

Your compliance is appreciated (or else)

The ACLU

The guild has infiltrated the ACLU -or is it the other way around?

Rather than offend Henchkind, let me suggest we revert to the terms minions on the one hand and Toadies, Lackies, and Flunkies - collectively: petty underlings - on the other.

Flunkies are totally incapable of independent thought or unsupervised actions. They cannot be left alone for more than a few minutes, for fear of hurting themselves or others.

Lackeys are capable of following rudimentary instructions and marginal self-supervision for up to a day or so. The better lackeys are also capable of supervising a squad of flunkies while they break rocks into gravel, but again, only for a day or so.

Minions are capable of a far greater range of authority, self-determination, and responsibility. They can act unsupervised for days, weeks, even months at a time, largely because they are generally clever enough to call you on their cellular phone if they think they're in a situation that is over their heads. They can be trusted with several squadrons of flunkies and the appropriate support staff of lackeys.

I don't use toadies. I have no idea what they're good for.

Toadies are good for making sammiches, stroking your evil super-ego, and occasionally making a (fatal) example out of.


personally, I fight for just ice.
