Define 'authorities'. If we are talking about law enforcement, I've been recognized... unwillingly.

I went to a speech by Tom Ridge (the former Secretary of Homeland Security) at the local community college. They gave us index cards to write questions on, and mine was one of the five or so he "answered". He really didn't say much of anything for the whole two hours that he was talking.

I've met and briefed generals from all over the world. US, Saudi, Israel, South Korea, Vietemese, and a German general. Lots of lower ranking officers too.

Ed "Too Tall" Jones signed a football for me too.

Oh, I have another one. When I was 8 years old, there was this kids' show I always watched, and every week they featured pictures that kids had sent in. So I drew a picture of a rainbow and sent it in and they showed it. Unfortunately, I never got to see the episode because it stopped airing in my area or something :(

I've had letters published in some magazines (Computer Games ones, thanks).

Hope to get an article published soon

My family is in the history books for being long time residents of Langley British Columbia... Or at least "A" history book.

I've been in the news paper, I was in a mayday parade and I got to sit with some jack ass who was running for mayor, I was in elementary school at the time. It turned out a few years later that the guy was a perverted child molester, but I managed to escape his evil clutches.

I had some pictures I took published in an elementary school yearbook.

I've been published by AOL Sports. It was an editorial I wrote about the declining behavior of sports fans at sports functions and events.

I have been in a MegaTokyo comic and the source of a joke for a Penny Arcade comment.

:shifty:

And a few things back in high school that are probably better not mentioning. Mainly the start of a secretive cult that is dedicated to the destruction of the school administration. And they're succeeding. :glare:

Uhm... nothing notable since high school (where I won a state poetry award, and got a letter to the editor published in the local paper) except that a customer I helped at work commented (positively) about me by name on a major financial website's user forums. Geeky, huh?

Oh, ive got another one. 2 years ago the cops though me and a friend had made a quite large bomb, and threatned to persecute us. 2 months ago the guy who did it confessed, after they found enough explosives in his apartment to blow up a block. He lived with his mother, becouse his apartment was full of explosives...
"Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found the exact amount of injustice and wrongdoing which will be imposed on them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
-- Frederick Douglas, 1857

Translated below for clarity:

Two months ago the guy who actually did it confessed after they found enough explosives in his apartment to blow up a block.

Over half an hour, perhaps as long as 45 minutes.
