How does one become famous?

I was contemplating the other day how people really get places in life and become famous (of course, I realize those two ideas are very possibly not synonymous with one another), and then I decided that maybe it all boils down to people being completely outrageous and voicing strong opinions.

So, I've decided to become famous. Though, I struggle to have strong opinions on many political matters, just because I frequently feel I don't know enough on the subject to form them, maybe I know a lot of ridiculous people. Making fun of these ridiculous people could make me famous.

Along similar lines, my brother-in-law was debating with me the other day about whether or not weird people have friends. And his argument was that weird people definitely have friends because they marry each other. I had to stop him right there, because I wasn't talking about marriage at all, but rather that the higher people are on the weird scale they have fewer and fewer friends. While they may find someone to marry, that doesn't mean they have friends.

I think that the real heart of this issue is what you mean by "weird". I recall walking into the hallway of our second floor David John dorm to find you doing a head stand. I know that you gave me a reason at the time as to why you were doing such a thing, but some people may classify that as weird and you have A LOT of friends! But seriously, I do think it matters how you define "weird". I'm always surprised that certain people are able to find friends but who am I to judge?
