"In 150 characters or fewer, tell us what makes you unique."

Seen in this Achaogen ad for a postdoctoral position, this delightful requirement: 
In 150 characters or fewer, tell us what makes you unique. Try to be creative and say something that will catch our eye!
Amusingly, "screw you" is just 9 characters.

    Some suggestions:

    "I'm a workaholic AND a nymphomaniac."

    "My undergrad school was Indiana State Institute of Science. Go ISIS!"

    "My toughest job was safety glasses salesperson in Cuba."

    Note that there are only two choices for gender.

    I think they are on to something. We could all do with being more succinct. Imagine how short meetings could be? "Tell me why I shouldn't kill your project in 15 words or less!"
