Ah, a case of Googling gone wrong... in this case, horrifyingly wrong.  :-D

My younger bro doesn't go anywhere near physics... except as it applies to
(insert clever physics-related beer metaphor here or beer-related physics
metaphor.  It's your choice).

Anyhow, Chris is at an unnamed university here in DC (UW is in Washington State,
not the capitol of the US), and I'm not sure what he's going to be majoring in.
Right now he's getting a general liberal arts education, and playing rugby.

I don't think there's a reference to him on Google proper.  Nor a mention of my
other brother.
