Happens from time to time, about 10 years ago a Marine fighter jet crashed in the San Diego area short of the runway, 3 houses and 4 people were killed, the pilot survived though. That accident was a huge fireball. |

He has been doing Harvard extension classes since 11, while also doing his normal schooling, graduating high school and Harvard within a couple weeks of each other, When Lawrence was five, her father gave up his job so that he could educate her at home.At the age of nine, Lawrence gained an O-level in mathematics, setting a new age record (later surpassed in 2001 when Arran Fernandez successfully sat GCSE mathematics aged five). Also at the age of nine she achieved a Grade A at A-level pure mathematics.In 1981 Lawrence passed the Oxford University entrance examination in mathematics, joining St Hugh's College in 1983 at the age of twelve.At Oxford, her father continued to be actively involved in her education, accompanying her to all lectures and some tutorials. Lawrence completed her bachelor's degree in two years, instead of the normal three, and graduated in 1985 at the age of 13 with a starred first and special commendation. Lawrence followed her first degree with a bachelor's degree in physics in 1986 and a Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) degree in mathematics at Oxford in June 1989, at the age of 17 |

...... and think of all she missed by being out of her age group.
I wonder how happy she really is/was???? |
Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
If there is one thing I am glad I have and that is strong teeth that require little in the way of work from a dentist.
I really wish we could live downtown Vancouver, I like it downtown, can walk everywhere, no need for a car, lots of nice areas to walk and a lot of the streets are actually pretty quiet. Its by far the only real area of Vancouver I can say I like and enjoy. #20 bus route to/from downtown is very interesting at times, goes through the poorest area of BC if not Canada, and a lot of interesting folk get on/off and have interesting conversations. |

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
One of the only places a person can go in Vancouver if they cannot afford dental care. Entirely run on donations and what people can afford to pay for care, but nobody is turned away because they cannot pay. All the dentists volunteer their time.
