(from Mi6)

not that bad I think

Nobody was ever going to beat Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker tho...

I only saw one or two episodes of the muppets

Since when is Dr. Evil a boffin?

But still ... Go Q! Go Q! Go Q!

as long as the person has a doctor in the name I take, they could get selected

Beaker is Number 1 cry
He is my favorite character in Sesame Street and he was great in the Muppet Movie

It's spelled "buffon". And Q is number four? Ridiculous! It's a farce poll. Ignore it. Someone's trying to spread disharmony.

I took the title directly from the site

what's a boffin?

scientist, especially one engaged in research

How can you take a poll seriously when the question isn't even spelled correctly?

i don't know them


i know only #4 and #5 actually bag

Then what the hell's Spock doing there? It's Mr Spock not Doctor Spock...Dr Spock was a boffin on child rearing who wrote books on the subject!!!

they probably got things confused? I just copied it all

If Q isn't No 1 then forget it!!!

but look at the competition

Does anybody know what kind of degree does Q have? Is he a mechanical engineer or a physicist, to be a scientist, he had to get a Ph. D.
Or maybe he is just an inventor, that has weird ideas for weapons
Beaker, for example, is the assistance of Dr. Bunsen and Dr. Bunsen is a chemist (Honeydew is Dr. Bunsen)
So is Q also a chemist?, he is able to make explosives

Weird questions

Q is a Major, so he has a military background. He most likely has a couple of degrees in physical mechanics and biological agents. And he's a scientist, naturally. And he's worked extensively in Intel.

Thanks for answering my question

I read somewhere that Desmond was free to tell the background of his character in the movie somewhere... he had ties of some stuff he wore to show, one was about the uni he was, forgot the name though
