     Scotty's New Wee Bairn: I just read that Jimmy Doohan, 79, and his wife,
     43

     (!!!!), are expecting a new child in April. Sleazy devil. (Saul Bellow,
     84,

     just fathered a son!) 43?!! 43-year-olds should be having *my* babies!

     (Certain of my plans require additional Fashenas...) It's a God-damn
     outrage!

     Well, I guess she won't be off the market long...

     In unrelated dish, the actress who play's Ally McBeal's idomaniac
     roommate is

     apparently a loon in real life too, and was recently committed to a
     nut-house

     on suicide watch for two weeks after an alcohol, pot, and PCP binge. She
     may or

     may not return to the series.

     It's wrong to judge a man by the color of his skin, but entirely
     practical to

     *pre-judge* him on that basis.

         They're running Total Recall: 2070 in sydication ('round here, it's
         late

         Saturday on WPIX 11, WB). It's fairly good, although the main
         character is a

         dork, and you've missed the first three episodes. I'm not sure if
         Showtime is

         still producing it (the unedited version wasn't suited to watching
         with

         parental guidance, so it was too much work trying to watch it, so I
         lost

         interest.)

         Lexx sucks.

         We've been having some fun on the mailing list (regarding gays in
         the military,

         etc.): Binkely started it!

         What do you mean, "started" 'it?' What do you mean, '"what" do 'you'
         "mean?"'

         Supposedly, scientists have discovered genes to activate aspects of
         hibernation

         in humans - if memory serves, one that shuts down carbohydrate
         metabolism (to

         save it for the brain) and another to help catabolize fat, which
         could have

         implementations for deep space travel, increasing the storage time
         of organs

         for transplantation, and helping the critically injured live to
         reach the

         emergency room. I guess those form-fitting uniforms on the sleeper
         ships will

         need to be let out before each mission! Way out.

              Where did you hear about this? Looks interesting. I'd like to
              read

              more.

              Hey Gorno... you won the award for most obnoxious forumite at
              the 30th

              didn't you? :) Glad I got to meet you. It's nice having faces
              for the

              many names that I encounter online. (That goes for the rest of
              you that

              I got to meet then as well!)
