John Scalzi has started off another round of "Ten Things I've Done that You Probably Haven't". I started up a list last time, but never finished it, so this time I decided to finish and post it. Herewith:
1. Learned to read before I learned to talk.
2. Beaten a master-rated player at chess.
3. Eaten a taco north of the Arctic Circle.
4. Tasted the water of the Dead Sea.
5. Photocopied in excess of 100,000 pages in a 24-hour period.
6. Discussed literary references in _Sandman_ with Neil Gaiman. (And done my level best to conceal that I didn't know what "synoptic" meant.)
7. Played the mad mutie lord Sir Simon in a reading of "William Shakespeare's _Tam Lin_, As Considered Canonical on Barrayar".
8. Seen a sibling being born.
9. Ruptured an Achilles tendon. (And believe me, you want to keep it that way)
10. Read Euripides' _The Bacchae_ in the original Greek. (Let me emphasize that probably,
