Used to have a sign on my desk reading High Commander". This title was bestowed upon me by two of the Museum's trustees. Name came from the TV show Third Rock From the Sun. Where the actor, John Lithgow, was in charge of a group of aliens and was called High Commander. He was pretty inept so the name fit me quite well.
Let me quote another Mommyism. "Spelling is no gauge of a person's intelligence." Gaylord Farquar at the Watusi Home For The Tall said, "I know what's in every book in every library in the world = woids". Nuff of this.
