I watched you do Puppet Improv at Dragon Con. It was easliy the best part of the weekend, I laughed so hard.

The Fierce Diety Sword is this, a sword from Legend of Zelda, Majora's Mask. It's the ultimate weapon of the ultimate powered version of Link.
It's epic, from a classic video game (one being released soon), and looks like a bitch to forge one that could actually cut something that stays together.
So he is right, seems right up your alley!

I just teared up at work. Damn, man. That's so touching.

So are you in it for the research itself, or do you have some long-term hopes/goals to apply the research to?

Hey! Much admiration for you guys for putting this much effort into science.
On a personal level, what's the big hope or dream or idea that keeps you adamant enough to spend all this time in the Arctic doing research? Discovering a new species, finding information to save endangered species, finding things to advance medicine, etc?
