Uhhh, Shawn...  Not to pick nits here (well, OK, I am), but unless my 
elementary school teachers were wrong (hey, it wasn't THAT long ago; 
10-15 years, depending on which end you measure from...), you should 
have ALWAYS fit under the noun classification, specifically a "Person, 
Place, or Thing."  As far as I know, you have always qualified as a 
person.  The fact that you have been transformed into a "thing" is just 
reinforcement of your prior noun status, should you cease to exist as a 
person.

However, if you turn into a verb (such as Photoshop), there may be 
cause for alarm.  I just hope that my predicted alarm doesn't Shawn 
King me.
