Title: Variable's team wins national Science Bowl competition
Post by: Talan Va'lash on May 01, 2007, 12:23:15 am

For any of you out there who remember Variable (Aralin Harenya et. al.) and wonder what he's been up to and why he hasn't been around, here's one of the reasons.

His high school science bowl team just won nationals in Washinton DC today (after taking 2nd or somesuch last year.)

Department of Energy - Poudre High School From Fort Collins , Colorado Wins U.S. Department of Energy National Science Bowl® (http://www.doe.gov/news/5024.htm)
The Denver Post - Colo. team wins science bowl (http://test.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_5785867)

And yes, he's my little bro, so I've got big brother pride : )

Congratulations! (Yes, I'm going to be saying it IRL too.)

That's so cool.  Like Bill Gates says, " Be nice to nerds.  You'll probably end up working for one."

So if I get this right, it's a type of competition where teams are asked questions and get points for answering correct. They probably have a wide array of knowledge then, congratulations to your bro' :)

Congratulations!!! Like I always say, if you can understand what the heck a +5 Vorpal sword does you can do anything in life.  I mean it's really just that simple.

Vorpal swords are for killing Jabberwocks. I thought everyone knew that.

And congrats, BTW
