Re: New divisions at nats?

I cannot believe no one suggested this name:

The V-Neun division.



Actually.

Remember how Dean said more scientist and engineers should be heroes or role models for the students? I think when you think of new names for the division, you should definitely keep that in mind. Imagine if you have to come up with a short list of 10 names to be top heroes from the science/engineering field, who would they be.

Personally, I have a lot of respect for Edison. I read about how he had major difficulties in school when he was young, and about how he was tiredlessly trying to invent new things even when he was small. I thought to myself, "He is a legendary inventor, but he is also a human being who never stop trying. Now that's someone to look up to."

Another scientist/engineer I look up to is R. Buckminster Fuller, who forever changed my view of the world ever since I saw a play about him and his experience. But I doubt he is as famous as Newton, Einstein, or Edison.


On the side note, I thought how cool it was when Blair went "Gal-il", and the crowd went "le-o" at the beginning of the finals in Atlanta. When you come up with names for new divisions, they better sound interesting when you say the name out loud.

I think I remember there used to be a Watt field back in the days, but it went away after the divisions were established since 2001. Boy, what a great decision that was.
