8. I once saw Steven Pinker speak

he was so smart and very attractive. You should have seen the horde of young academics fawning over him. His books are fascinating.

9. OMG! I have "Words and Rules". You LUCKYYYYYY!

That's an excellent book. I can understand why people fawned. I would have had a hard time not doing so. *sigh* I LOVE together, wonderful men like him.

You lucky lady. :yourock: :pals:

12. he was very attractive ( oops, already said that, didn't I ;)

he was one of those superstar-type academics, very charismatic.

I really like his books. He raises very interesting questions.
