Getting a second undergrad degree in a mostly unrelated subject
I think I may end up doing this 2-4 years from now, and I just wonder how common it is.

Also, a potentially stupid related question - how possible is it to get into a grad school in a subject you did not study in undergrad? Can you just take courses a la carte to meet the pre-reqs and/or beg them to let you give it a shot? All my research on grad school doesn't turn up much on what kind of students are accepted into the programs.

I don't know what's more sad, that Leonard Nimoy is dead or that you're still using AOL for news.

Reruns of Mission Impossible won't be the same without Nimoy as Paris. Or the Man from U.N.C.L.E that guest starred Shatner and Nimoy where Werner Kempler (Col. Klink of Hogan's Hereos) kept calling Nimoy, "Stupid."

A whole generation of boys went in the evening to bed and dreamed about space adventure. And many of them became later engineers and scientists. Spock, Kirk and Co were our heroes. Now boldly go to where no living man has gone before.
