When I was growing up, I had a G.I. Joe doll, and now, to see a recreation of my character as an action figure ... it's strange.

Vinton Cerf

We all can think of at least one kid who had great parents, a great family, and an all-around great childhood...who suddenly went crazy as soon as he left the house for college or adulthood. And nobody can figure out how or why it happened!
