Very few people enjoy integral calculus, I find. I don't. But there's lots of other pretty math things to distract me, so that's okay.

Different mindsets, different skills, and it's amazing how many scientists suck at pure math and how many mathematicians break down when confronted with applied math.
*nods* And compare either math or science people with those in applied science/engineering. Or biologists vs physicists. Or people in different branches of computer science, even. It's difficult to group us all together, although we probably have a lot more in common than, eg, chemists and english majors.

And... I actually don't remember much about toys I played with. Hmm. As well as that repression thing has served me, it kinda gets in the way of drawing conclusions from my childhood.
