[Nevergrowup]

The first time I used it, I think I was registering on bmxboard. I was then in my thirties, and liked all kinds of 'alternative sports' that has an element of danger and speed. Hanging with kids half my age my philosophy was that one should not grow up to not be playful.

I try to live up to that still, even if my sport endeavours are not much these days, closing in on 47.

[Lemming]

I'm a scientist and study body weight/composition/obesity. I've measured body composition in everything from fruitflies to elephants. One of my favorite models systems was the collared lemming, having done some field research on a remote island off the coast of Greenland.
