From Glenn Cassidy: My 70-year-old mother can see a nuclear power plant from her house, so that makes her a nuclear engineer. [Editor's note, shouldn't that make her Monty Burns?]

From Scott Watkins: My state borders an ocean, so I'm qualified to be Aquaman.

From Gail Atwater: I can read the blog, therefore I invented the internets!

From Charlene Reiss: I can see my neighbor's horses from my window, so I'm like a rhinestone cowboy.
