Good thread bro. Someone posted about that 84yo nfl team owner dying the other day. I was searching something unrelated and decided to START GOOGLING SURNAMES

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurie Lurie is a Jewish surname.

It is one of the oldest family trees in the world, tracing back at least to King David born c. 1037 BCE, as documented by Neil Rosenstein in his book The Lurie Legacy.[1] It contains many famous members such as Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Felix Mendelssohn, Martin Buber, Rashi, and Hezekiah.[2][3

of a dozen famous examples listed all U.S. ones are entertainers or TWO Jay team owners.

The surname may refer to:

Bob Lurie (born 1929), former owner of the San Francisco Giants Dan Lurie (1923-2013), American body building and physical fitness pioneer Jeffrey Lurie (born 1951), former Hollywood producer turned NFL team owner Marty Lurie (born 1972), American professional wrestling manager Ranan Lurie (born 1932), American Israeli editorial cartoonist and journalist Rod Lurie (born 1962), Israeli-American director, screenwriter and former film critic Zvi Lurie (1906-1968), Israeli politician, signatory of the Israeli declaration of independence

it's interesting how everyone assumes I'm a guy. But anyhow, good point @DonKeyhote! I really think the NFL is highly involved.

Obviously because the vast majority of researchers are male. So it's not interesting that I assumed you were male, it is actually quite unremarkable. Notice how you haven't yet said outright that you're female, but your remark has exposed you as such LOL

:) Actually I did. Lots of time. In this thread too. And next thing I find interesting is that you claim to know statistics about the gender of researchers. :D Let's stop right here. It's not important. God bless.
