Chaos's info-amnesty meme

Meme courtesy of carpenter.

Analogous to library-fine-amnesty day, or tax-amnesty day, this is the Things You Should Probably Know About Me But Forgot amnesty meme. If there are things you'd feel embarrassed asking me to my face (say, at reunion next month) because, "oh, goodness, I really should know that, shouldn't I?", just ask it as a comment to this thread, and I'll answer it. Since it's the amnesty thread there will be zero guilt or embarrassment involved.

Spread the meme!

This isn't too deep, but what was your major/minor/etc. at Swat?

I was an honors astrophysics major / math minor (although I tried to at least slightly avoid staying in one corner of the academesphere by planning to double minor in math and philosophy -- that was possible in my day, since honors involved 6 seminars, 4 in your major and two in your minor-or-minors. But my philosophy seminar had been 2nd semester sophomore year, and when senior year came and I realized how little of it I still remembered, I retreated to the safety of math. Which I think is the only reason I got magna -- or in fact, honors at all!)

Random observation: I initially typed 'philospohy'. The spellchecker didn't like that, but the only suggestions it offered were flyspeck and floorspace(!)
