I remember when I was a kid learning D&D and coming across the Fireball spell and the material component needed to cast it: bat guano. I then had to look up the word “guano.” I remember my teachers being impressed by my vocabulary in elementary school. Small wonder, since I read comic books and played D&D; by 4th grade I knew about the Van Allen belt, mutants, cosmic rays, gamma radiation, and bat guano.

It’s no wonder I didn’t date much in high school ;(

Take care,
