Bio:
I grew to the awkward height of 6'4" on the island of Kauai by eschewing the water sources used by the menehune. At college in south Florida, my body caught up to my skeleton, for the most part, and I topped out just short of 6'6". I am undoubtedly the tallest regular to Alkaline Earth, and that may unfortunately be the most interesting thing about me. In college I doubled in math and physics and now I work with "lasers" at UT.
I am as big a Pistons fan as Mr Flip is a Red Sox fan.

2009 Apr 01 12:32 (#4132.12506):Little known fact, Detroit got "lucky" when its 6th position lottery pick from the Grizzlies (a 1996 trade for Otis Thorpe) got them the #2 pick (7% chance), but if it'd been the LeBron pick (6% chance), it would've gone to Memphis, which got to the playoffs anyway.
