Buh...
One of the great things about working for the head, although soon-to-be-stepping-down-head, of Neuroscience is the crazies. He gets letters from crazies around the world, alerting him of world domination, plague, death and destruction...you name it, it comes here. Normally, his secretaries are the ones who have to weed out the "fan mail", and in the process, show the real crazy letters around the office. But now it seems like I might be on the receiving end as well. This is an email I just recevied:
I AM A FIRST YEAR MEDICAL STUDENT IN KWAME NKRUMAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.AFTER MY PRE-MED AND MY CLINICAL STUDY, I WOULD LIKE TO SPECIALISE IN NEUROSURGERY SO TO BECOME A NEUROSURGEON.PLEASE, CAN THE STUDY OF NEUROSCINCE TAKE ME TO MY CAREER AND HOW WOULD I APPLY IN JOHN HOPKINS MEDICAL SCHOOL TO FURTHER MY EDUCATION?
Umm....what? Now, this COULD be spam...we get a lot of that here. But I don't think so. Is my email address floating around out there in crazy-neuroscience-land? Most likely. Luckily I'll be done with this job in less than 2 months (or not so luckily, as it's the best job I've ever had), and I'll encounter a whole new brand of crazy in New York.
