Totally off topic here, but I was just wondering if people constantly ask you for your autograph because they think you are Brent Spiner aka Data from Star Trek NG??? Perhaps, during the times that the wife "suggests" that you move out for a while -- you could go on appearances / autograph-signing tours -- your exile could be quite lucrative! Plus, you might get some hot Vulcan ass while on tour [total bonus!]...just a thought. :-) V P.S. Check out your separated-at-birth twin -- totally rocking the white stubble at http://tinyurl.com/2jwr3j Hey Neil!
