My family always thought Spock was a CS because of that episode where he keeps chanting, "I am a Vulcan. THERE IS NO PAIN." 
Despite my leaving the church and having major problems with CS, I do have fun memories of my years at Principia. We poked fun at ourselves a lot. During the time I was there, we joked a lot about the sexual implications of one of the goals of Prin: "Coeducation to its fullest extent." Perhaps partly because of this "unScientific" attitude on the part of some of us students, (or the growing incidence of coed dorms on college campuses in the early 70's!) the administration decided in about 1972 or so that we should all sign a statement -- does anyone remember this? -- it was a statement saying we would all agree not to have premarital sex. It was quite a controversy, because some said it was overkill since we were already supposed to be practicing CSists, so why did we have to sign this statement?
Anyway, I remember my housemother had a dachsund named Max. We joked a lot about Max. Often the message board in the lobby would mysteriously have statements appear saying "Max is Error."  One day one of my dorm sisters ran in to tell the housemother that Max was violating the agreement and molesting a puppy! I'll never forget how we all laughed as the housemother raced over to rebuke Max and his violation of CS principles by having premarital sex on the lawn!

| This message board has been about as quiet in the last few days as a Wednesday evening testimony meeting in a Christian Science church! So, just like I always wanted to do during those loooooong silences on Wednesday nights, I'll crack a joke! Milton Weinstein was asked to become a 'Christian Scientist.' He said , "No thanks, I'm a 'Jewish Scientist'---we have faith that if we fall ill, one of our doctor uncles or cousins will take care of it."

Good joke, but did you know there actually was a Jewish Science that was based on CS? Seriously -- check out this link:
