I was into them so I guess so :) I was into them so I guess so
  :) I wrote a book report on Black holes in 1987 in 10th grade a
  year _before_ Hawking published his "Brief History of Time"
  book. I had to use whatever was around in encyclopedias and
  stuff. His book would've made it a little easier maybe. 10
  pages. Proudest essay I wrote honestly. Anyway, my interest in
  this stuff goes back to adolescence (big and small stuff). I was
  going to go into Theoretical Physics in 1990 at college but the
  professor gave the pre-college talk on "Quantum Mechanics for
  the Myriad" was on sabbatical so I picked child cognitive
  psychology/development instead.
