In fact, they call him "The Count," because he likes to count . . . things.
And now you can, too!

Incidentally, Joey doesn't appear to have made it to my lecture in Logan. Too bad.
Tomorrow afternoon, between the senior seminar for Middle East Studies majors and the Arabic Qur’an seminar that I'm teaching, I'll be meeting again with Dr. Sabiha Al Khemir about an exhibit of Islamic art that we're planning for BYU's Museum of Art. Dr. Al Khemir is the former director of the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar. Her work in Islamic art includes teaching in the British Museum; a consultancy for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; writing and presenting documentaries for Channel Four Television in London; and a recent exhibition at the Louvre entitled "From Cordoba to Samarqand: Masterpieces from the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha."
I do hope that Joey will be able to take time off from his busy schedule of counting my posts on his well-worn fingers and toes, and reporting the sums that he reaches, so that he can visit the exhibit when we open it. It will have all sorts of objects that he can count.
Maybe, in fact, the Count would like to start counting reviews of METI books in leading academic journals?
There's another such review (of a book that I edited, published in a series that I founded and direct), in the latest issue of the University of London's Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, one of the most prestigious journals in the field.
There are lots and lots of wonderful things for Joey to count!
Does anyone know what Peterson's point is here? He doesn't seem capable of explaining it directly.
by the way, if I had the time I could enumerate on all of the things that I do which allows me to get in four posts on message boards over the same period that BYU teachers can generate over four hundered. If I had the time.
Re-basta!
