Tom is really, really old. So old that his andrew id was ts49 instead of one of these new-fangled ones that actually look like your name, and he had to ask to get it unlike all of you ungrateful bastards today. He remembers fondly the days of the internet when posting an off-topic message in a newsgroup would probably get you chewed out by your site administrators, all back before the start of the September that never ends. Everything was much better previously, even the electrons that we used to send over the internet were so much better than the ones you get today, the new ones just don't feel right. It seems like the whole world used to be filled with puppies and kittens and charcoal grills on which to cook them, what more could you ask for? But I digress...

He also knows things and can tell stories that these damn kids keep getting wrong when they try to tell them.

In his nonexistent spare time he is a high school physics teacher when he's not busy talking about himself in the third person and walking to school uphill both ways in the snow in the middle of August. Frightening, isn't it?

Applicants to join the Strongmen of America should submit their requests to Tom Strong c/o King Solomon, The Stronghold, Millennium City, or simply mill about Midway, awaiting the inevitable science-hero standoff.
