Tell us who the other person is, quick! We'll pool our money & put out a hit on them.
It's a guy. We just need to narrow down male PhD graduates in History for likely the last 3 years and put them down.

Same here. I had non-infectious hepatitis associated with mononucleosis when I was 17. I used to do apheresis donations at Mary Greeley's blood bank on a monthly basis, but they started using a different screening test for hepatitis and it doesn't clear people like me. It's cost effective for them to use that test, but they lost a person who was willing to sit for a couple of hours with needles in both arms because of it.
On second thought...how'd that work out for Herod?

Different profession. Let's do this!
Erik, tell them to put up a poll of who to hire. We can do that, easy.
Who don't ever plan on being financially comfortable.

This part will be nerve-wracking, even though I have to imagine that the other dude is accepting the offer.
Lost out on a spot at MidAmerica Nazarene to a guy whose research is about Methodists in MIssouri and Kansas around the Civil War. He may as well have just been writing a history of their school.
So, I'll sigh and wait and plan the hits.

We need other person to get a better offer or back out because of stereotypes about the South.
Maybe this other guy has a job somewhere Erik can get? Maybe he goes on a swamp tour tomorrow and falls in?
Clearly you have thought this through better than I have. Or maybe you're just less bloodthirsty?
So - we could bombard the other candidate with news clippings and hurricane/heatwave/bug infestation issues, and...
OH CRAP! Revkah, turn off your computer while we discuss this!!!

Isn’t story of Mississippi prof attacked by gator enough?
You haven't mentioned SNAKES or the forest near the school.Clearly you have thought this through better than I have. Or maybe you're just less bloodthirsty?

You were that close to Queens and you didn't visit McDowells?I spent some time in Manhattan and Long Island back in 2000. Our company was consolidating the datacenters (such a grand term for what were essentially air-conditioned broom closets with computers in them!) of their two NY sites. We were moving everything out of the expensive Times Square location, to the much-cheaper Long Island office.
The day we drove into Manhattan was a gorgeous late fall day, Indian Summer really, with nary a cloud in the sky. Sunlight specks gleaming off the skyscrapers, foam of a gentle breeze upon the waters... it was just beautiful. And then we were in the city, with hordes of people everywhere. Times Square was something else. That place truly is a wonder of the world, even if it's a compete tourist trap. For some reason, I remember looking specifically for the TRL studio. I guess back then, MTV was still mildly relevant? I'm just really happy that I got to see, with my own eyeballs, the WTC towers before they fell.
Only disappointment was I really was hoping to see McDowell's.
Didn’t read all so maybe that’s why I thought they basically said mass creates gravity so since things like moons and planets have mass, there is gravity in outer space.
