If you're asking me, I don't know what to say and can't really figure out
why you ask.  I don't know if it is impressive to get a BA from Oxford at
16 or not.  I think people used to do things like that back in the olden
days, and then they were monks (though 15 or 16 is more like when they
would start).  At my university there is a talented and gifted program for
children, but I rarely see children speed up their entry.  It seems to make
them aware of good things to come in higher education so that they can
persist in high school and be ready to maximize that experience when they
are old enough for it.  University life is a social melee.  With nothing
akin to in loco parentis strictures, it is cruelty to introduce babies to
it.

I was impressed that he picked up an old fossil of a camera and took some
nice photos.  Oh well, Ken does that all the time! <g>
