Profile: Criswell

Your personal background.
I am Criswell The Psychic Weatherman. 87% of Criswell's Predictions HAVE COME TRUE! I was able to maintain this lifetime average by deliberate selective memory. I was a shameless self-promoter, and made no secret of the fact that I slept in a coffin. One day, when predicting the weather, I announced the date of a person's funeral, while that person was still alive. Many called to complain. Shortly thereafter, that person died and was buried on the day Criwell predicted. I also chose to appear in films with director Ed Wood, to increase my fame and fortune. Since I had to do quite a lot of damage control for ther rest of my life, this was one prediction that fell into the 13% that I got wrong.
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
My computer was built to perform difficult, tedious, and/or repetitive calculations. Why shouldn't I be using it for that? I currently participate in 6 BOINC projects, Classic SETI, Project Bovine, and Electric Sheep. In the past I have also participated in Find-A-Drug, GIMPS, and LifeMapper.
