It's a map, not a schedule. :-)

Thanks :-)

It's a static list from 5 July.

Well...I think it's up for debate. He does...after all...murmur. *toothy grin*

I wish I knew. Perhaps another user would know? Oooh, I know who'd know...Miles O'Brien of CNN. He's a pilot. I'm gonna email him and see if I get an answer. :-)

Ah, no :-)

The qualities are all desirable, and this is an exceptional list of qualities found in self-confident, successful, well-rounded people. These qualities, however, have absolutely nothing to do with 'genius.' A genius is someone with exceptional intellect or creative ability, someone with an instinctive aptitude in a given area. 'Genius' is not a word used to describe one's character, which is what most of these qualities address. As h3h pointed out, many true geniuses - Bobby Fisher, Brian Wilson, and the 'Beautiful Mind' guy come to mind - have few funds in these accounts from which to withdraw. However, when these characteristics intersect with genius, you get, well, Stephen Hawking.

I'd add one more: when I'm an evil overlord, I'll use the most nondescript name I can think of...say, Ted Parks...instead of either the typical "nom d'evil" brand ("The Worloq") or my supergrandiose pedigreed name ("Dr. Godswrath Slake Rottenheart, IV").

Well done! If read aloud, this could easily be a humor piece on National Public Radio. It's tailor-made for, say, Ira Glass. :-)
