celebrity engineer - dorkus popularus

So I was reading the spring edition of the UC Berkeley, College of Engineering magazine, Forefront, and Jeffrey Chu had the following comment:

"I think once we, as a country start having celebrity scientists and engineers instead of just actors, singers and athletes, we will see more Americans go into engineering and the hard sciences."

Not only do I agree with this, but I also volunteer to be the next celebrigineer.

I'll do dancing with the stars, and should this engaged thing not work out you can count me in for ~for the love of A-Dub~ but I won't eat any bugs...for less than $250K.

I await your adoration and loathing.
