About Computer Scientists...

it is worrying, but on occasions I realise that in fact I do start to identify myself with this term.. But at the same time, I am developing a slight allergy towards certain small brained people broadcasting in complete obliviousness some very nice rumors about 'us'...
Recent conversation:

'Dont worry about leaving your girlfriend alone with a computer scientist, he wouldnt know what to do with her!' - 'Of course they would!! They would take her to the museum to admire the van Neumann machine!'


(ok, kidding, I didnt reply this...) what I said was:

'How can you be so sure?' - 'I KNOW these guys.....(nodding very satisfied..)'
'Really?? I know some of them too..' - 'No, come on... everybody knows this is the truth..'
'But... I've studied with them for 3 years (and I think I could find counter examples)' - 'eh? WHAT?'
'I just finished studies in Computer Science.'

- 'YOU?!?! (slightly shrill voice) But - you're a WOMAN?!?!? (this is soo scandalous, how could you possibly do SUCH a thing... )'
