I am definitely smarter than a 3-year-old. This does not imply that I am better-informed on all possible subjects.

Being perfect isn't easy, but some of us have to do it...

I'm not perfect, but I find those who think they know it all really annoy those of us who do.

I could have warned you.
Back several score years ago, my elder brother and I had sets of, well, stuff.
We had the green little plastic soldiers. Also, a bunch of knights, and best of all, a huge army of dinosaurs. My brother's favorite was "Danny Bimetrodon" and mine was a Pteranodon which was referred to a "Bird" (ancient forerunner of Big Bird?). All of these were roughly the same size as the toy soldiers and knights. Embedded on the tails (or wings) in tiny print was the creature's museum name.
Only now, in hindsight, do realize how cute adults thought it was that we could pronounce the names and identify their owners.
Lookin on a bright-side I want to imagine: at least your nephew didn't have his knowledge limited to Pokemon characters.

Some mornings, I'm not even as smart as a pterodactyl or a pteranodon.

I almost sent this one to you but didn't want to spoil the cultured high-brow attitude we have here on CodeProject.

Well, my brow keeps getting higher as the years plod along. Does that count as high-brow?

No. The Romulans. They sneaked up on it with their cloaca device.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It was a joint operation. Klingons were seen in the vicinity.

Some comments on the prose:
Imagine the parents of this person describing her vocation to their acquaintances:
Quote: Diane Kelly, an expert on vertebrate penises and copulatory systems at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Another classic line:
Quote: "It's like a Swiss Army knife of excretory openings," Vinther said
If the Japanese design engineers read this . . . OMG, it beggars the imagination as to what they'll do with expanding this concept.
Quite importantly, this should have been lead article for the Newsletter.
