Allow me to geek for just a sec, but if he isn't already in, I'd love to see Wil Weaton in here.

Then again, maybe the rabid Trek fans would drive him away.

I bet Wil Wheaton would be interested in SL, what with
his support for EFF, his recent hosting of a games show
on G4, and his popular blog:

http://www.wilwheaton.net/

Wonder what would happen if we e-mailed him, and
encouraged him to try it out...

So then. Be nice to folks in world. You never know who they are.

Then again, maybe we shouldn't get our celebrities involved with our obsession, or they won't have time to do the things we love to see them do anymore. Imagine how it would be if Steven Spielberg and George Lucas slacked off on moviemaking because they were spending so much time SLing (I'm still waiting for that last Indiana Jones movie), or if Gene Hackman had no more time to act anymore. Hmmm...no, you're right...Gene Hackman would still have time to act; he'd just be in 80 movies a year instead of 100.

To revive this topic a bit: how many celebrity AVs are there in SL? Misnomer Jones has a pretty impressive James Dean AV, and Dave Zeeman has a solid Keanu Reeves-as-Neo AV... what others we got out there?

Hah, Dio, I haven't seen your Mario, but I would just like to let you know that I saw a Mario the very first day I joined, which was way before you

But all this does is give me an idea for an event. "Who can make the best Luigi AV" hehehe.

Nope, can't think of a single one myself.

Wait!! That face in the mirror. Isn't that...?

Nope, no celebs around here. Especially, none that resemble that Rowan Atkinson fellow.

Pardon my previous cryptic attempt at modesty. I tend to forget that most people outside the UK aren't familiar with the character. For those who might be interested, try this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/blackadder/

or perhaps:

http://www.blackadderhall.co.uk/

Again, a thousand pardons. I promise to have my servant, Baldrick, beat me over the head with a shovel for my insufferable lack of judgment.

Actually Darwin, I have been involved in a few such ventures over the years. As has my cousin, the recently appointed Royal gardener Sir Osmand Darling-Blackadder.

And, come to think of it, I've still not received a single penny for it.

Pardon me, I must find my agent and give him a damn good thrashing.

By the way, loved your "Theory of Evolution." Brilliant! Perhaps in your next book you could explain where Avatars come from...pixel mutation perhaps??
