Fame Thrower
How many famous paleontologists do you know? Let's make it simpler. How many non-famous paleontologists do you know? Until today I would have been stumped to think of one, apart from Ross Geller from Friends, but technically speaking he isn't real.
I am pleased to say that the Naperville Sun has helped me to learn of one today.
Paul Sereno is not only a real paleontologist, but last year he won the Sun's Most Famous Person from Naperville competition! FYI he beat CNN anchor Paula Zahn to first place.
American readers, please feel free to enlighten me as to how Mr Sereno achieved his fame. But surely Naperville has produced a better known son or daughter than this?
I now understand why American Idol loser Gina Glocksen was given the keys to the city last week, even though she has only lived in Naperville for two years. Don't tell anyone she is planning to further her career in LA later in the year...
