I think Joe hit the nail on the head when he stated that Paul is pointing out the ridiculousness on the part of the Clark. And we get a little publicity. As far as the term "geek" - my son, who is 25, and his friends throw that word around all the time. They are computer programmers and designers (among having other interests). They see nothing derogatory about the word, in fact they have embraced it. They use the word, fondly, to reference others of like mind. And one would much rather be a geek than a "muggle" (from Harry Potter) - a regular type of guy, a boring person. Anyway, it is all in fun and it is healthy to laugh at oneself from time to time. I'll invite Paul to our Open House and Astronomy Day activities. Perhaps he could be persuaded to say a word or two! -A
