Nothing good can come of an engineer/scientist duel. If the scientist loses, then that's not good. We all know the real purpose of science is to discover/develop new technologies that we engineers can use to actually build things. So, we kinda have to keep them around. And, well, it's obvious that the engineer getting killed is a bad thing. ;)

I feel like there should now be some ritualistic dueling.

Ah, you seem to have confused doing boring things where the principles have all been worked out ahead of time with actually doing something new.

I feel like there should now be some ritualistic dueling.

You continually amazed your Dad and me; especially when we discovered you were reading and not just from memory at the age of three. Second, this past weekend, I watched Eli throw his ball into his crib and then try and bring it out through the slates. When that didn't work, he put his hands through the slates of the crib and then he gradually worked the ball to the top of the side and then reached up and brought it over; mission accomplished and we were able to happily play ball once again. He is truly your son! Stephen, first, yes you were just like this. You continually amazed your Dad and me; especially when we discovered you were reading and not just from memory at the age of three.

Maybe he'd enjoy a molecule construction set, once it ceases to be a choking hazard. Oh, and Legoland.
