Someone has already took my #1 question (what's time?) so I'll go with my #2:

This question is essentially why I got a physics PhD. It didn't help though, I'm still not much closer to understanding time.

Me too, but I can't see how they can commit to 6 films for it, though.

Geez, you're already a Count, what else do you want? :)

I loved those spam names. Seems like the don't do that anymore.

I've pretty much only used my middle initial when I published, mostly to make my name more distinct and searchable via arxiv.org or SPIRES (now inspirehep.net).
