Here I am at the office, listening to and preparing to respond to voicemails, and I receive one from someone who sounds exactly like Dukhat, who was the leader of the Minbari Grey Council up until his death in 2246 (in the initial conflict that started the Earth-Minbari war).
Times like this, I can't help but wonder whether anyone ever brings this kind of thing to the person's attention... I once had a FedEx delivery guy who looked exactly like Forest Whittaker, except he didn't have that weird eyelid thing that Whittaker does. As I was signing for the envelope, I said, "Has anyone ever told you you look like Forest Whittaker." He just looked at me and started laughing. Probably thinking something like, "Gee, no, that's never happened to me at all, I only make deliveries to three dozen different offices every day..."

Here's a question for you (or Matt or whomever :) that he couldn't answer... *grin* Why are people back there so convinced that the earthquakes in my area are horrible scary things? How often do you guys think we get ones somebody can feel, or how often they kill?
Posted by: Moggy at September 18, 2003 08:02 PMBeacause we're east coasters - and a flake of snow will postpone the morning commute and Billy's school day by two hours. We had an earthquake on the east coast a few years back - i barely remember it though.
We're a few hours from this blog turning into Parrish's great zamboni machine again.
Posted by: Shaw at September 19, 2003 01:29 AMWe only get to see the big horrible earthquakes, not the little 'fun' ones - dozens of people crushed in their cars under freeways and such.
